Description

Saxophonist Chris Kelsey and pianist Lewis Porter interpret ten seldom-played compositions by the great Ornate Coleman. Fewer than 100 available. â€œShaman-like, sharp-witted, and intentionally shambolic (in) a single package ... Chris Kelsey and Dr. Lewis Porter have created something truly remarkable with "Free." They balance erudition and abandon while satisfying a craving for intelligent music dusted with mirth and mayhem. This album perfectly feeds into expectations while simultaneously defying them. The title hints at a second volume, and that would certainly be welcome. If it comes to pass, I'm sure it'll be a doozy like this one." - Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

From Where the Hurt Is:

"I do not identify with the killjoys. There’s nothing wrong with having a drink now and then. Or even more than one, more than now and then. And while dancing in the altogether might not be the best way for a woman to exploit her spiritual and intellectual gifts, I reckon it must pay better than being a secretary or waitress or schoolteacher, or else those girls wouldn’t do it. As far as affecting their chances of getting into heaven, I can’t believe the angel tending the pearly gates would be so small-minded."
