The Oldest Language
I found I could play music very easily, so I decided, oh, I'll do this.
For Ornette Coleman music is the oldest language and his performances have been an important part of the jazz world for over a quarter of a century. His appearance at this year's Camden Festival is a highlight in a programme which also features shows from Carla Bley, Charlie Haden and the Monk Project, a tribute to the late Thelonius.
