Ornette: Made in America
Ornette: Made in America traces the career of the famous jazz musician and composer Ornette Coleman through documentary footage and avant-garde music video segments, telling the story of his rise from a childhood in segregated Texas to becoming a cultural trailblazer and global star. With this essential film for anyone wishing to understand the history of jazz and the fruitful creative exchange between this musical style and cinema that shaped the 1960s and 1970s in the USA, Clarke also offers insights into the inner life of an artist and innovator. Ornette: Made in America was acclaimed by critics upon its release in 1985 and is more relevant today than ever: not only has interest in Black history grown, thereby lending greater significance to Coleman, but Clarke’s interpretation of his life and times remains as fresh and exciting as ever.
