When Italian drummer Aldo Romano recorded this Ornette Coleman tribute for Owl Records (a French label) in 1989, Coleman had been recording for more than 30 years – and there were still plenty of people who had difficulty comprehending the alto saxman's innovative free jazz. But Romano not only comprehended it – he had a very deep appreciation of it. In the liner notes that he wrote for To Be Ornette to Be, Romano exalts Coleman as "one of the key voices in Afro-American music" and asserts that if Coleman had been Italian, he would have composed La Traviata. Some bop snobs would be horrified that Romano would compare Coleman's work to La Traviata, but Romano does, in fact, know what he's talking about when he praises Coleman's genius.
