FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS: ORNETTE LIVE AT PRINCE STREET

This is an unusual album in the catalogue of
Ornette Coleman, and one that passes by most
critics. It is however a unique insight into the
'''free jazz'''' pioneer''''s way of working in the early
70s. Recorded at his large loft space in downtown
New York which inspired a whole scene of
experimental musicians who were locked out of
playing established venues.
The music is a romp showing Ornette playing
trumpet as well as saxophone. His quartet which
featured second saxophonist Dewey Redman
alongside long term cohorts Ed Blackwell and
Charlie Haden prove to be the perfect foil for this
legendary set.
This is the first vinyl reissue in nearly 20 years
and utilises a fresh 24/96 transfer from the
original production master.
