Turnaround from Looking Glass by Ran Blake
13. Turnaround
I met Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry in summer of 1958 at the Lenox School. John Lewis, Gunther Schuller, and Martin Williams had introduced Ornette’s music the previous summer during the weekly music lecture. My former boss, Nesuhi Ertegun, arranged for the quartet to be full-time students. I’ll never forget the first time we heard Ornette. He was playing a solo with the Herb Pomeroy Orchestra — a few people almost fainted. Don became my friend.
