Ornette Coleman

Friends And Neighbors

Flying Dutchman / BGP

This is a jubilant, uplifting romp.
Recorded in 1970 at his large loft space in downtown New York, with Ornette playing trumpet and violin as well as saxophone, alongside Dewey Redman, Ed Blackwell, and Charlie Haden (and friends and neighbours sometimes singing along).
Five lovely tunes — pure OC blues — featuring terrific alto-playing, and Blackwell in a funkily rambunctious party mood.
