Twas in jest but with some truth. You must be confusing them with
Dave Brubeck.

Don't be asinine. The classic Ornette Coleman quartet wasn't "into
meter"? Somebody should have told Billy Higgins, Charlie Haden, and
Ed Blackwell -- these are some of the greatest rhythm section players
of all time. And while Don Cherry was not the person Dean was
thinking of, he was a brilliant musician who did actually *did* do a
lot of mixed-meter stuff in the 1970's. Dave Holland -- whose current
band seems to play in every meter imaginable except 4/4 -- says he
learned to play mixed meters from Don Cherry, and Dave still teaches
that system when he does student workshops. (I learned it from Dave
at the Banff Jazz Workshop, and it is a *great* system.)
I would have hoped that Ornette Coleman getting a well-deserved
Pulitzer this year would finally put an end to ignorant, knee-jerk
dismissals of him and his associates. I'm greatly disheartened to see
that's not yet the case.

No he played with Ornette Coleman. They weren't into meter at all.
He was barely into trumpet playing.

Who was that jazz tpt. player, prominent back in the late sixties,
who used to do charts with meters like 87/4, etc? I think his
first
name was Don .....
