Ornette Colman's Meltdown 

Master Ornette change the way of the music, also the rhythm of the universe!!

We Love Flea and wewere happy he was there. Bachir Attar and The Master Musicians of Jajouka.We were honored to be a part of this event and we love you Ornette.Bachir Attar

One of the most honest artists in history. And that honesty allowed for incredible generosity,to musicians and everyone else...worldwide

Thank you Ornette and Denardo for all you did for The Master Musicians of JAJOUKA led by Bachir Attar…the real Jajouka group !!! WE love you.

Jon Sadleir, would you mind editing the title of the video and spelling his name correctly?

How many ways can people misspell the name of this amazing artist? Sheesh.

Nobody can squeak and squawk like Ornette. No wonder so many intellectuals were drawn to him.

12:09 - "...And when he leaves, he will leave it with us." RIP.

No idea why this short 12 minute clip is entitled , " Ornette Colman's Meltdown ." A quick peek into his world would have been more appropriate . The only meltdown I see is on the person who chose the title since Ornette's name is not even spelled correctly : Colman

There's nothing wrong with Al MacDowell's playing ( the guy with the Sterling bass - it's clearly not a Stingray). He was part of Ornette's regular band here - Flea was an invited guest. The comment about Al not leaving musical space for Flea seems to me to be nonsense.

Yoko & Ornette..good friends ..

Lonely woman is now accepted after the early controversy.

to recognize in the moment that something is "one of the greatest moments in life" is rare vernon knows!

he sees (hears) keys as colours yeah!!!

Flea !

Omg, with Baaba Maal, incredible singer from senegal, true masters meeting! Is there a full recording?

There is SO much beauty here, but please, Jon...spell Ornette's name right, and change it to something like "Ornette Coleman Redux" or "Ornette Coleman Celebrated"...SOMETHING...there is no meltdown here....there is melt UP.

Can someone please tell me the name of the piece played at the start?

more joy

what's the first song? sounds amazing

Ornette's music is an acquired taste. It takes repeated listening to appreciate this music. The same goes for contemporary classical music.

he's playing all of his old hits

Is there a ay to watch the concert without all the bullshit beeing talked over ?

Had to turn this off; don’t want to hear what others say. Just OC and band.

Sasha king crimson !!!

I agree, its a real mistake to let musicians talk they should be playing... lets listen ah Lonely woman!!!
