    ENFJ (6w5)

    Ornette Coleman personality type is ENFJ, so it's not surprising that he's so good at conveying his emotions.

    Guitarist Lester Bowie is particularly astute about other people's emotions.

    When Ornette sat down to write I Didn't Know What Time It Was, he told his bandmate that he was feeling very uncertain about their future together. "He didn't know what to do, was getting very depressed, and he just wanted to leave the band," Bowie said. "But he wanted to leave it on a high note because that was the only thing that he had left to play with."

    The title track of the album is a tribute to the song "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." If you listen closely, you'll hear Bowie singing the blues. He gets choked up every time he sings the song.

    But there are other songs on I Didn't Know What Time It Was that are more difficult to interpret. "Some Kinda Love" has a chorus that tells you everything you need to know about Ornette's feelings.

    Randolph Denard Ornette Coleman (March 9 or 19, 1930 – June 11, 2015) was an American jazz saxophonist, violinist, trumpeter, and composer.

His "Broadway Blues" and "Lonely Woman" have become standards and are cited as important early works in free jazz. His album Sound Grammar received the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Music.
