Broadway Blues

"Broadway Blues" is a jazz/blues composition which has become a standard, composed by Ornette Coleman. It was composed in the key of E-flat major.[1] "Broadway Blues" has been cited as a key work in the "Free Jazz" movement which began in the 1960s, a "vehicle" of Coleman's that "offered a freer approach to improvisation than had been used in earlier jazz styles".[2]
