[double_please]

Jazz artist Ornette Coleman won the music category for Sound Grammar, his
first release in a decade and only the second Pulitzer won by a jazz
composer. Wynton Marsalis won the music prize in 1997 for Blood on the Fields.

Special citations were given to science fiction icon Ray Bradbury and famed
jazz saxophonist John Coltrane.

The Pulitzer Prize for music, an award founded in 1943, has always focused on
classical music. Legendary jazz composers Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk
were honored only with posthumous citations in 1999 and 2006, respectively. In
1965, a Pulitizer jury had recommended Ellington for a competitive music prize,
only to be overruled by the board. Ellington, then in his 60s, joked in
response, "Fate is being kind to me. Fate doesn't want me to be famous too
young."

NEW YORK - Ornette Coleman won the Pulitzer Prize for music on Monday for his
2006 album, "Sound Grammar," the first jazz work to be bestowed with the honor.

The alto saxophonist and visionary who led the free jazz movement in the 1950s
and 1960s, won the Pulitzer at age 77 for his first live recording in 20 years.
The only other jazz artist to win a Pulitzer is Wynton Marsalis, who won in
1997 for his classical piece, "Blood on the Fields."

The Pulitzer Prize for music, an award founded in 1943, has always focused on
classical music. Legendary jazz composers Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk
were honored only with posthumous citations in 1999 and 2006, respectively.

Coleman, who grew up poor in a largely segregated Fort Worth, Texas, didn't
first believe his cousin when he told Coleman that he had won the Pulitzer. He
spoke by phone to The Associated Press from his New York City home minutes
after hearing the news, and reflected on his long, unlikely journey.

"I'm grateful to know that America is really a fantastic country," said the
jazz legend, recalling when he first asked his mother for a saxophone. "And
here I am."

What began for Coleman as a fascination for the bebop of Charlie Parker, led
him on a path to discover — through music — what he calls "the culture of life
and intelligence."

On "Sound Grammar," which was recorded at a 2005 concert in Ludwigshafen,
Germany, Coleman also plays trumpet and violin. He was awarded a Grammy
lifetime achievement award in February.

"Of all the languages that human beings are speaking on the planet, it's some
form of grammar," Coleman said of his album. "For me, playing music is
analyzing grammar."

Though Coleman can speak of large, heady ideas in a way not dissimilar from his
often conceptual music, he said he has never wanted to be inaccessible.

"I've been doing what I think I'm trying to achieve ever since I was teenager
and I was only doing it because of the quality of human beings," Coleman
said. "I've never really thought about being smart; I've only really thought
about being good."

Some members of the Pulitzer board such as Jay Harris, a professor at the
University of Southern California, have said the Pulitzers have "effectively
excluded some of the best of American music" by concentrating fully on
classical works. Coleman's win suggests that may be changing.

When asked whether he hopes more jazz musicians will follow him in winning
Pulitzers, Coleman replied, "I would like to help them if I could."
