Ornette

"Coleman may, indeed, be the last great melodist--trafficking in the sphere of irresistibly hummable tunes, alternately happy and sad, that strike us in those unprotected areas of naive pleasure that survive childhood. No better example exists than his standard encore and most celebrated ballad, the 1959 "Lonely Woman," performed at Town Hall in a slightly abbreviated arrangement that underscored the deliciously yearning main melody, which haunts the mind long after the final notes have faded, like the memory of a wonderful idea."
