Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after a walk with Skies of America the 17th album by jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman, released on Columbia Records in 1972...
..Coleman took a sabbatical to Montana in 1965. Coleman witnessed a group of Native Americans and it inspired him.
"It was so cold," he said of that time in Montana. "It must have been 2 or 3 below zero, and when I saw the American Indians praying, doing their purity ritual, they looked like their bodies were transparent. All of a sudden, I saw the American Indian and the sky as the same people. It taught me something about religion, race, wealth, poverty, commerce. I said: 'Oh, I'm going to go over to the other side. I only want to be on the side of the consciousness that comes to people naturally.'" - Wikipedia
