"The Battle of the Five Spot" is an engaging look at a milestone of jazz history. When the Texas-born saxophonist Ornette Coleman brought his quartet to New York's Five Spot Cafe in 1959, the music spurred a stormy controversy, and a struggle between old and new styles that has never wholly subsided.
