Writing Quotes by Ornette Coleman

Ornette Coleman

After I found out that I was playing music and that I’d have to learn how to read and write music, I started doing that about two years later. Finally, I said, “Oh, that means what I really want to do is to be a composer.” But when I was coming up in Texas, there was segregation. There was no schools to go to. I taught myself how to read and how to start writing.
