"Broadway Blues" is a jazz/blues composition, composed by Ornette Coleman.
It was composed in the key of E-flat major.
[1] "Broadway Blues" has been cited as a key work in the "Free Jazz" movement which began in the 1960s, a "vehicle" of Coleman's that "offered a freer approach to improvisation than had been used in earlier jazz styles".
While the song title features the term blues prominently, the song itself does not employ the twelve-bar chord progression utilized in most blues music.
