This is simply marvelous. These 4 guys changed Music forever in 1959, and are reunited in 1987. Some strange things happen here, however:1- The extroverted Don Cherry, an important soloist in the Group, almost does not plays solo here, even in tunes he knew by heart, such as "Lonely Woman"; he possibly was dealing with health problems at the time of this concert. 2- Charlie Haden stays aside of the rest of the guys all the time and he wears ear protection. It is known that he suffered from severe hyperacusia and could not tolerate loud sound. Even in these conditions he almost completely steals the Show. 3- Ornette is in great shape, as always. 4- Although Higgins was the original Percussionist in this Group, he was a much more conservative player than Ed Blackwell, who succeeded him.
I believe Mr. Ed Blackwell was the original drummer in the quartet. He was certainly one of Ornette’s earliest and closest musical collaborators. They shared an apartment in LA early in their time there. Blackwell didn’t come to NYC in 1959 due to legal issues, if I recall correctly. He had also gone back to New Orleans at times.
Scusami ma è come dire, "Schubert non è il mio tipo preferito di musica eurocolta" e l'algoritmo mette il commento in cima. Concordo in pieno con la seconda parte del commento.
MUSICAL & ART TASTE its form by CURIOSITY,SENSIBILITY and OPEN MINDED . I saw these INCREDIBLE GROUP in that same year al the GRAND REX PARIS FRANCE. One the Best moments of My Life.

This is not my favorite kind of jazz, but you can hear the pain of an entire generation in their playing. They are saying something important here.
