"I'm glad [Ornette Coleman] is such an individualist.……" — Paul Desmond
"I'm glad [Ornette Coleman] is such an individualist. I like the firmness of thought and purpose that goes into what he's doing, even though I don't always like to listen to it. It's like living in a house where everything's painted red."
