Ornette Coleman was known for inventing “free jazz,” a completely spontaneous approach to improvising in a jazz style.
He also wrote some unique compositions, including this 12-bar blues titled “Turnaround.”
These chord changes come from the last 4 measures of the blues, and move chromatically in half and whole steps.
