Don Cherry / Dewey Redman / Charlie Haden / Eddie Blackwell - Old And New Dreams LP
Reissue. Recorded in 1976 and originally released in 1977, this was the debut album by the legendary Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Eddie Blackwell quartet. Old and New Dreams spans the whole late '70s post-free universe with passion and lucidity. From the fast harmolodic phrasing of Ornette Coleman's "Handwoven" to the deep lyricism of Charlie Haden's "Chairman Mao". This is timeless music performed at maximum energy and profound inspiration. Personnel: Dewey Redman - tenor sax, musette; Don Cherry - pocket trumpet; Charlie Haden - double bass; Ed Blackwell - drums.
