New Ornette Coleman Box Set Features Tributes from Diverse Array of Artists 

New recordings by today’s top jazz visionaries will add to Ornette Coleman’s enduring legacy.

Celebrate Ornette, a deluxe, limited-edition box set paying
tribute to the legendary saxophonist/bandleader, will be released on
Sound X Records on Jan. 29, 2016.

Curated by Coleman’s son and longtime collaborator Denardo, the set will
comprise four LPs, three CDs, two DVDs, extensive liner notes,
exclusive photographs, a Coleman poster featuring an image by renowned
Italian photographer Elena Carminati and a program from the June 2015
memorial service honoring Coleman’s passing, signed by Denardo.

Most of the material on the new box set was derived from Celebrate Ornette: The Music of Ornette Coleman,
a 2014 concert held at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Bandshell. This
concert, a salute to Coleman’s contributions to modern music, featured a
performance by the saxophonist.

Other musicians on hand to pay homage that day included Bill Laswell,
Branford Marsalis, Bruce Hornsby, Flea, David Murray, Geri Allen, Henry
Threadgill, James Blood Ulmer, Joe Lovano, John Zorn, Laurie Anderson,
Nels Cline, Patti Smith, Ravi Coltrane, Savion Glover, Thurston Moore
and the Master Musicians of Jajouka. Sonny Rollins addressed the crowd
and offered kind words about his friend but did not perform.

Ornette passed away on June 11, just as a live recording of the Celebrate Ornette tribute concert was being prepared for release.

The saxophonist’s memorial service, held June 27 at Manhattan’s
Riverside Church, saw inspired tributes and performances by many of
Coleman’s fans and followers, among them Pharoah Sanders, Cecil Taylor,
Henry Threadgill, Jason Moran, Jack DeJohnette, Savion Glover, David
Murray, Joe Lovano, Al MacDowell, Charnett Moffett, and members of
Ornette’s renowned Prime Time band, including Jamaaladeen Tacuma,
Charles Ellerbe, Bern Nix, Ken Wessel, Chris Rosenberg and Dave Bryant.

An exclusive recording of this service will be available on the new box
set, which was mixed by S. Husky Hoskulds, mastered by Ted Jensen and
pressed on 180 gram vinyl at United Record Pressing in Nashville.
