    That’s right, it was the pianist John Lewis who suggested the title because… Well, because he was right.

    It is an absolute banger, and it was so innovative.

    I just hate the idea that Coleman is seen as being presumptuous when, by all accounts, he was anything but.

      Oh God it’s so hard to read that kind of stuff yeah I agree.

      Personally, when we are touched by genius like this, I would never dare call anybody’s character into question, they can be whoever they want if they produce this kind of thing and change the world!
