Question: What is the birth name of the drummer for the free jazz quartet Center of the World?
Context: Ascension is a jazz album by John Coltrane recorded in 1965 and released in 1966.  It is often considered to be a watershed album, with the albums released before it being more conventional in structure and the albums released after it being looser, free jazz inspired works.  In addition, it signaled Coltrane's interest in moving away from the quartet format.  Coltrane described "Ascension" in a radio interview as a "big band thing", although it resembles no big band recording made before it.  The most obvious antecedent is Ornette Coleman's octet (or "double quartet") recording, "", which—like "Ascension"—is a continuous 40-minute performance with ensemble passages and without breaks.  Jazz musician Dave Liebman, commenting on "Ascension", recalled that the album was the "torch that lit the free jazz thing". European free jazz is a part of the global free jazz scene with its own development and characteristics.  It is hard to establish who are the founders of European free jazz because of the different developments in different European countries.  One can, however, be certain that European free jazz took its development from American free jazz, where musicians such as Ornette Coleman revolutionised the way of playing. Muhammad Ali (born Raymond Patterson, 1936) is a free jazz drummer. Other Violets is the third album by the free jazz quartet The Engines, consisting of saxophonist Dave Rempis, trombonist Jeb Bishop, bassist Nate McBride and drummer Tim Daisy.  The album documents a collaboration with Danish reedist John Tchicai, which was recorded live at Chicago's Hungry Brain in 2011 and released on the Polish Not Two label. Last Polka in Nancy?  is the second album by the free jazz quartet Center of the World, consisting of saxophonist Frank Wrigth, pianist Bobby Few, bassist Alan Silva and drummer Muhammad Ali.  It was recorded live in 1973 at the Nancy Jazz Pulsations Festival and released on the French Center of the World label.  The album was reissued on CD in 1999 by Fractal with a previously unreleased performance from a 1978 reunion. By the end of the 1940s, the nervous energy and tension of bebop was replaced with a tendency towards calm and smoothness, with the sounds of cool jazz, which favoured long, linear melodic lines.  It emerged in New York City, as a result of the mixture of the styles of predominantly white swing jazz musicians and predominantly black bebop musicians, and it dominated jazz in the first half of the 1950s.  The starting point were a series of singles on Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950 of a nonet led by trumpeter Miles Davis, collected and released first on a ten-inch and later a twelve-inch as the "Birth of the Cool".  Cool jazz recordings by Chet Baker, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Gil Evans, Stan Getz and the Modern Jazz Quartet usually have a "lighter" sound which avoided the aggressive tempos and harmonic abstraction of bebop.  Cool jazz later became strongly identified with the West Coast jazz scene, but also had a particular resonance in Europe, especially Scandinavia, with emergence of such major figures as baritone saxophonist Lars Gullin and pianist Bengt Hallberg.  The theoretical underpinnings of cool jazz were set out by the blind Chicago pianist Lennie Tristano, and its influence stretches into such later developments as Bossa nova, modal jazz, and even free jazz.  See also the list of cool jazz and West Coast musicians for further detail. The Modern Jazz Quartet Plays No Sun in Venice (originally titled The Modern Jazz Quartet Plays One Never Knows: Original Film Score for "No Sun in Venice") is a soundtrack album by American jazz group the Modern Jazz Quartet featuring performances recorded in 1957 for Roger Vadim's "No Sun in Venice" and released on the Atlantic label. Free jazz is an approach to jazz music that was first developed in the 1950s and 1960s as musicians attempted to alter, extend, or break down jazz convention, often by discarding fixed chord changes or tempos. Though the music of free jazz composers varied widely, a common feature was dissatisfaction with the limitations of bebop, hard bop, and modal jazz that had developed in the 1940s and 1950s.  Often described as avant-garde, free jazz has also been described as an attempt to return jazz to its primitive, often religious, roots and emphasis on collective improvisation. Center of the World is the eponymous album by the free jazz quartet consisting of saxophonist Frank Wrigth, pianist Bobby Few, bassist Alan Silva and drummer Muhammad Ali.  It was recorded live in 1972 and released on the French Center of the World label. Human Feel is a jazz quartet that consists of clarinet/tenor saxophone player Chris Speed, bass clarinet/alto saxophone player Andrew D'Angelo, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, and drummer Jim Black.  The group combines elements of free jazz, chamber music, and alternative rock and features extensive improvisation in their performances.  Gary W. Kennedy noted their "tight-knit interaction and exploratory style."
