As both a writer and an accomplished double bassist, David Lee has become known to Guelph audiences during his PhD studies at the University of Guelph. The new edition of Lee’s The Battle of the Five Spot: Ornette Coleman and the New York Jazz Field is a unique account of the explosive debut of “free jazz.” In this presentation, Lee talks about Coleman (who died this June at the age of 85), and introduces a showing of Ornette: Made in America, the 1985 documentary by the fearless American filmmaker Shirley Clarke.
