Now:

"Shape of Jazz To Come" ......this is the one that has "Lonely Woman", is it ? That tune was the absolut favourite of my mother in her very last years, she died only a month short of her 102nd Birthday last year. 

She loved that tune and at least in her mid to late 90´s she still was movin around and loved a little wooden bench near a brook and told me "tell them burgermasters or who it is, to name that bench officially "Ornette Coleman Bench".....

 

My own experience with Ornette Coleman had started with "Empty Foxhole" and "Crisis" in the early 70s. When I finally found "Jazz to Come'" it sounded more like a straight ahead thing and I didn´t understand why critics or publics called that "Free Jazz" which it definitly isn´t . I was very open for Free Jazz from the very start of my listening to jazz......

It still hasn't sunk in yet that I won't see Ralph randomly show up in the drum chair at a Jazz set in the Boston area. We were all a bit spoiled that a player like Ralph could be called in when someone needed a drummer. Ralph drove the band from that drum chair. I will miss that guy.

Back in 1991-ish I saw him a number of times in Alberta in the local jazz clubs and had chance to say hi. The story I heard was that he was planning to move there to take up a music academy job but there were problems with immigration. A friendly guy as I recall and an excellent drummer of course. I did have tickets for his Fo'Tet tour in 1992 but that one fell through.

Yes, very enthusiastic attitude to the music, which will be missed.
