I’ll be performing the music of Ornette Coleman next Friday, January 31 at 8 p.m. At the Frick Fine Arts Auditorium on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.
I’ll be joining jazz studies doctoral candidate Nathan Frink-alto saxophone, John Bagnato-bass, Lee Martin-vocals, John Petrucelli-tenor saxophone and Joe Badaczewski-trumpet on selections from Coleman’s records issued between 1971-1973.

Listening to the great Ed Blackwell on these recordings has been a real education.
