Just realized I forgot to give you a song this week.

Let’s go with “Richard Pryor Addresses a Tearful Nation,” by the great Joe Henry. About halfway through, listen for an amazing solo by the late sax icon Ornette Coleman. The song is from Henry’s transfixing, genre-bending CD, Scar, which you can buy here.

MORE: Egad. Coleman is still alive! My apologies for burying him prematurely. And thanks to Evan in the comments for correcting me.
