from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

This unique trio was together for a few years and represents an important period in Ornette Coleman's musical life. It is pure unadulterated Ornette! He plays his alto saxophone here on a series of compositions recorded at Sweden's "Golden Circle" club. Coleman is accompanied by the virtuoso bassist David Izenzon who came to Coleman from a classical background. Drummer Charles Moffett went to high school with Ornette when they were both teens in Fort Worth,Texas. These recordings stand as some of Mr. Coleman's most accessible music but they are not "Ornette lite"...they are as always, challenging but entirely worth it! Happy 85th Birthday to Maestro Ornette Coleman!
