The Battle of the Five Spot: Ornette Coleman and the New York Jazz FieldThe Battle of the Five Spot is an engaging look at a milestone in jazz history. In 1959, when the California saxophonist Ornette Coleman brought his quartet to New Yorks Five Spot Caf, the music spurred a stormy controversy, and a struggle between old and new styles of jazz that has never quite subsided. David Lee explores the debate around Colemans innovation in terms of its relationships to social change and issues of power within arts communities,

The Battle of the Five Spot is an engaging look at a milestone in jazz history. In 1959, when the California saxophonist Ornette Coleman brought his
quartet to New YorkÕs Five Spot CafŽ, the music spurred a stormy controversy, and a struggle between old and new styles of jazz that has never quite subsided.
David Lee explores the debate around ColemanÕs innovation in terms of its relationships to social change and issues of power within arts communities, referring to such disparate sources as writer Norman Mailer (a Five Spot regular), composer Leonard Bernstein (who leaped to his feet at the end of one Coleman set and declared that Òthis is the greatest thing that has
ever happened in jazzÓ) and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. The latterÕs theory of artistic Òfields,Ó in LeeÕs accomplished prose, becomes part of a unique, lively and deeply postmodern look at how and why the soft-spoken ColemanÕs
exciting new music changed the way jazz was played, listened to and talked about.

TOO SMALL
Size: Medium, Color: Blue
Nice socks, but they are way too small. Says they fit size 6 - 10. I kept 3 ( I wear size 8) and gave 3 to my daughter (size 8.5). We both agreed that they were just too small.
