Is Free Jazz music? Well is it?
Is someone like Ornette Coleman, or Cecil Taylor a genius, or just annoying? Defend your answer.
yes, it is. that said, in regards to the two names that you've cited, I'll say this: in Coleman's case, some of his tunes, namely "Lonely Woman," "Turnaround," "When Will the Blues Leave?," and "Law Years," have pretty much become jazz standards ("Lonely Woman," in particular, has had many readings, not just by Coleman's acolytes, but by folks as diverse as Lester Bowie and Diamanda Galas). in my estimation, at least, if memorability of ones tunes is one possible indicator of genius, than I'd say Coleman fits the bill. next, concerning Taylor, whether or not one cares for his compositional capabilities (which I'm not sure if I necessarily do), his virtuosity at the piano keyboard playing-wise simply cannot be denied. anyhow, to each their own ... that's just my two cents...
