In my ears they were not atonal but maybe he did records I haven't heard doing this 
But my point is that he and Charlid haden did alot songs with improvised "chord changes"
Coleman wanted Charlie Haden to write a book about what he was doing. I think that Charlie Haden only play and have two of the best ears in jazz history. Nothing to write a book about.Coleman is mostly famous for his ideas of bi tonal improvising. I like most his periode before this with Haden and Don Cherry. Jarret and Whether report and that periode do alot improvised chord changes.

> No there is not much atonal music in comparison to tonal, miniscule.

And most of the played standard jazz is boring. Thats why I want to tune pianos so I can chose to play the music I want to play. To play only after charts has nothing with jazz and improvising to do.
