Born: March 9, 1930, Fort Worth, Texas [Died] June 11, 2015. New York, New York, USA. Jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. Full name Randolph Denard Ornette Coleman. As a teenager, he began playing alto and tenor saxophone, and soon worked as a player in dance bands and rhythm and blues groups. At the time, jazz improvisations were performed using traditional chord progressions, but Coleman created his own style of free jazz and formed his own band in the 1950s. His first album Something Else in 1958 and The Shape of Jazz to Come in 1959 were a completely new style of atonal improvisation for jazz, which created a huge sensation and gave birth to the free jazz movement that followed. However, he was not financially well off, and retired from the jazz world from 1962 to 1964. He reappeared in 1965 and gained twice as much popularity as before, and was active at the forefront of avant-garde jazz ever since. As a composer, he is best known for "Skies of America," which was recorded in 1972 with the London Symphony Orchestra and Coleman on alto saxophone. He received the Praemium Imperiale in 2001 and the Pulitzer Prize in 2007. Coleman |
[生]1930.3.9. テキサス,フォートワース [没]2015.6.11. ニューヨーク,ニューヨーク アメリカ合衆国のジャズ・サクソフォーン(→サクソフォーン)奏者,作曲家,バンドリーダー。フルネーム Randolph Denard Ornette Coleman。10代の頃,アルト・サクソフォーンとテナー・サクソフォーンの演奏を始め,まもなくダンスバンドやリズム・アンド・ブルースのグループで奏者として働いた。当時のジャズのインプロビゼーション(即興演奏)は,伝統的な和音進行(コード進行)で演奏されていたが,コールマンは独自の演奏スタイルのフリー・ジャズを生み出し,1950年代にみずからのバンドを組んだ。1958年の初のアルバム『サムシング・エルス!』Something Else,翌 1959年の『ジャズ来るべきもの』The Shape of Jazz to Comeは,ジャズとしてまったく新しい無調的な即興演奏で,一大センセーションを巻き起こし,その後のフリー・ジャズの流れを生んだ。しかし経済的には恵まれず,1962~64年にはジャズ界から退いた。1965年に再登場して旧に倍する人気を獲得,以後,前衛ジャズの最先端で活躍した。作曲家としては『アメリカの空』Skies of Americaが最もよく知られ,1972年にロンドン交響楽団とコールマンのアルト・サクソフォーンとの共演でレコーディングされた。2001年高松宮殿下記念世界文化賞,2007年ピュリッツァー賞を受賞した。 コールマン
