Nice cover.

Interesting list of 'related titles',  I know Ornette's influence ranges far and wide but...'The Shape Of Muswell Hill To Come' perhaps

• The Kinks
• Dmitry Shostakovich
• Live Wires - history of electronic music
• Five Years Ahead of My Time - Garage Rock from the 50s onwards
• Arnold Schoenberg

Cool.  Thanks for the heads up.

Just curious: Is the author, Maria Golia, any relation to Vinny?

Off topic, but does anybody know if and when Brian Morton's book on Eric Dolphy will finally be released?

You may be able to order it directly from the publisher, Equinox Publishing.

I do not think it has been released yet. My local book store has it listed as a preorder here. Release dates were pushed back a number of times on Amazon over the years. Currently it is listed as October 2019, but unavailable for (pre-)order. Seeing is believing. 

And I can't order directly from the UK anymore due to a hard Brexit being imminent. Packages from the UK can take a little over a month to arrive this time of year. I can't take the risk of the book not shipping immediately but close to 31st October or after. I am currently awaiting delivery of 5 second hand books spread over 4 orders from the UK and progress is sloooow. I shudder to think what delivery from the UK to the EU will be like once the UK is out without a withdrawal agreement.

That means it will be on Amazon next year ? 

I like Ornettes Music very much, everything from the first trio with Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins to Prime Time. 

I already have on book about Ornette Coleman, but it´s in German language, I think the author´s name is Peter Niklas Wilson...…, I think the title is "His Life, his Music and his records".

There’s also John Litweiler’s book ‘Ornette Coleman: A Harmolodic Life’, which fits the bill for me (need to re-read my copy).

May be quicker?..

Since the delay is already on your end, I think not ...
