En esta última entrega del macro especial dedicado al gran Ornette Coleman, escucharemos lo último de su producción, desde la banda sonora para David Cronenberg en Naked Lunch del año 91, hasta el excelente testamento sonoro que supuso Sound Grammar del año 2006. Randolph Denard Ornette Coleman, nació un 9 de marzo de 1930 y fue uno de los más grandes músicos de jazz que ha existido a la vez que uno de los creadores y mayores impulsores del Free Jazz, cuyo nombre inventó al títular así uno de sus primeros álbumes. El 11 de Junio de 2015 falleció. Con estos nueve especiales hemos querido honorar su memoria. Ha dejado a la humanidad un extenso y único legado que del que podemos disfrutar generación tras generación.

Este número 112 de Libertad Jazzera es un paréntesis en medio del gran especial que estamos haciendo al gran Ornette Coleman. Y en parte tiene sentido ya que la música del trompetista y trombonista Clifford Thornton tiene mucho que ver con el trabajo de Ornette. Clifford Thornton, compositor, educador, trompetista, trombonista y activista político, puede que sea uno de los músicos más subestimados del panorama free jazz y al que sin duda, su activismo político, pasó factura como músico. Recordamos algunos de sus mejores trabajos dentro de una trayectoria más bien corta pero plena de buenísimos trabajos.
