He was the first one to show up with the Mohican haircut and did zen meditation on the Brooklyn Bridge.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Today&#8217;s players are still dealing with Sonny Rollins&#8217; contribution to the idiom, plundering his recordings for ideas and insights. He was one of the first to appropriate a West Indian heritage and music into mainstream jazz, which for me is very significant. His political consciousness and daring I also found inspiring &#8211; for example, recording <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/templates\/story\/story.php?storyId=4182012\">The Freedom Suite<\/a> in 1958 with Max Roach during the civil rights protests. He&#8217;s completely at one with his instrument. And few people have been able to make triplets and eighth-notes swing harder.

In general, rather than simple concerts, Coleman&#8217;s performances had by now become big multimedia events that both reflected and impacted on the host town&#8217;s community, lasting for several nights at a significant location.
