Hour-long video of Ornette Coleman & his late '50s quartet — recorded in 1987. That's the year he reconvened the band w/ Cherry, Haden & Higgins... & put out his double-album "In All Languages." First disc was old quartet, second disc Prime Time. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=sPLLhF…
@RichardScheinin It was in November 1987. I attended the concert of that tour in their performance in Malaga, where Cherry would die 8 years later at his home in Alhaurin El Grande. I have my copy of Something Else! signed by Ornette.
@RichardScheinin I love In All Languages because it's not a time capsule. Yes, he reconvened his 1959-60 band, but the music was recorded with '80s echo and reverb and sounded very much up-to-date.
@RichardScheinin Thanks - have bookmarked to watch later. I saw him around this time in Boston - the original quartet played one set and Prime Time the other. Wow.
