    Arranger braves the challenge that is Ornette Coleman www.sfgate.com Return to regular view Arranger braves the challenge that is Ornette Coleman - Jesse Hamlin, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, March 31, 2004 Gil Goldstein was bobbing slowly on the piano bench, a slightly pained expression on his face as he listened to the SFJazz Collective play Ornette Coleman's mournfully singing "Lonely Woman.'' "That felt good,'' said Goldstein, the gifted arranger who orchestrated the classic Coleman tunes and some of the original numbers the octet will perform at its debut concerts in San Francisco this week. Goldstein sought the essential feeling and flavor of each piece, framing the material with a knowing simplicity that lets the music speak for itself. It was particularly challenging to orchestrate Coleman's radically unconventional and intuitive music, with its freedom from predetermined harmonic and metric structures and its focus on group improvisation. "You can't write what Ornette played, you have to feel it,'' said Goldstein, 53, a calm, slyly amusing man with thick white hair, green eyes and rosy skin. He was lunching on shrimp and egg rolls the other day at Eliza's on California Street, down the block from the new Jewish Community Center, where the SFJazz Collective has been rehearsing intensely. "And there are not many people alive who can play his music the way he played it, with such rhythmic abandon. These musicians can do it. What I tried to do is make the arrangements flexible enough to fit into those floating time zones. Ornette's music is also very speech-like, and, like speech, doesn't have a strict time flow.
