![]() The Japanese players play Ornette a lot, Otomo Yoshihide and Masayuki Takayangi both have versions of Lonely Woman, Marc Ribot has done a bunch of Ayler. The "standards" of free jazz (Lonely Woman, Peace, Ghosts, Complete Communion, etc.) are fairly easily found slightly outside of the world of mainstream jazz, the free improvisors are always doing Ornette, Cherry and Ayler tunes. Personally, I think jazz should be about taking risks and what's more risky than blowing an Ayler tune in a jazz club full of blue haired purists? The more it gets derided, the more new players will shy away from it. ![]() The reasoning behind it usually being that the "real" standards will make you way more money than anything "free", which is unfortunately true. /rebates/&252fdownload-ornette-coleman-change-of-the-century-rar-files. While there were a few more open-minded students, most of them went along with this attitude and now many of them pass it on to their students. When I was in college (studying music), most of the jazz teachers were dismissive of pretty much any jazz created after 1958 (unless it's Trane) and free jazz, even at its earliest and most "jazzy" was referred to as "bleep-squawk". Im guessing its because most jazz is still done in a bebop casuals format, which pretty much demands tunes with changes.
