Ornette Coleman Seeks to Block Bootleg
By MIKE HEUER
(CN) – Two musicians bootlegged live private recordings of jazz great Ornette Coleman and continue to offer the illicit materials for sale, the bandleader and his son say in a federal lawsuit.
In a federal complaint filed in White Plains, N.Y., on May 19, Denardo Coleman, the eldest son and guardian of Ornette Coleman, accused drummer Amir Ziv, trumpeter Jordan McLean and System Dialing Records of using live recordings of Ornette Coleman in violation of the federal Anti-Bootlegging Act.
Denardo says Ziv and McLean are „fixing, reproducing, communicating, publicly distributing, selling, and trafficking in unauthorized recording of live musical performances“ by Ornette Coleman.
The musical work is entitled „New Vocabulary“ and is listed for sale in its entirety or as individual songs in several downloadable formats at the System Dialing Records‘ website.
The site claims the work is „a new collaboration“ by Ornette Coleman, McLean, and Ziv. Adam Holzman plays on piano on three of its 11 tracks. The site also says the work is produced by McLean and Ziv.
