Ornette Coleman ~ Free Jazz ~ Part 1

Double Quartet, one quartet for each stereo channel.
Ornette Coleman, trumpeter Don Cherry, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Billy Higgins on the left.... Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Ed Blackwell on the right.

Please listen to this with an open mind. In some ways, like Albert Ayler, this is an extension of New Orleans Jazz -- granted it's moved quite a way out there -- but before the Bop Revolution, Dizzy was known as, "that trumpet player who hits the wrong notes" -- this among some musicians. We change and grow -- after all, change is the only constant in life. The final change is death.
