Check out Kevin Shea at the start of this Chris Pitsiokos Trio piece. 



Health and safety warning - do not attempt to play the whole 27 minutes of music without a level three diploma in freeform jazz understanding, you could seriously injure your brain.

Hipster Billy Higgins meets baby white Ornette Coleman and white dread Charlie Haden.

They are seriously ripping off John Zorn here.
He was doing this sort of thing in the 80s.

John Zorn seriously ripped off Ornette Coleman! He was doing it in the 50s.

Zorn took a lot from Coleman but it presented differently.

Imagine you have 100 radio stations of Coleman tunes running all at once and then switch at random form one to another- that is John Zorn.

I only managed about 5 minutes of it, so in answer to your question, probably not.

His Masada series is very Coleman like... yes, some tiny short pieces, but the overall aesthetic is very much inspired by Ornette, Zorm himself says so....

Yeah, I liked the James Bond one. It went a little bit mad a couple of minutes in, but soon got back on track again.

It was alright.

The madness has a compositional function though.
Listen to how tight they are when they come back in.
