"Some people think of music as being on some higher level," Ornette Coleman says by phone from his apartment in New York City. “But basically it's the human being that receives the pleasure from sound.

by John Kelman
While he's largely lived in the blues world for much of his career, guitarist Robben Ford has always been defined by a jazz sensibility.
