No Pinching Back - Ornette Coleman. 131 Prince Street. When I visited Ornette Coleman’s SoHo loft in early 1973, the threat of eviction was already hanging over him.
The great saxophonist and composer had lived at 131 Prince Street since the late ’60s, when the district’s historic buildings had been under threat of demolition to make way for the proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway. Now the expressway scheme had been abandoned, and the neighbours were getting restless. They didn’t like the idea of jazz musician living in their midst, it was said. Particularly one who had turned his ground floor into a performance space, which he called Artists House. And real-estate agents were looking for a way of freeing up properties in a district whose beautiful but semi-derelict five-storey cast-iron buildings were about to make the transition from light industry to highly desirable residences and retail spaces.
My visit to 131 Prince Street three years later yielded one of the most singular and intense musical experiences of my life.
