Ornette Trio Coleman – The Scandinavian Broadcast 1965

Improvisational sax giant Ornette Coleman was one of the principal founders of free jazz. Recorded in Copenhagen on 30 November 1965, Live at the Tivoli finds an unfettered Coleman blowing fiery peaks as drummer Charles Moffett and bassist David Izenzon provide an inobtrusive backing, Moffett locking into the groove on “Lonely Woman” and Izenzon offering a meandering melody on “Clergyman’s Dream.” Moffett’s fine solo shows what he’s made of on “Sadness,” and on “Falling Stars,” Coleman wreaks havoc on violin before blowing blue shades on the trumpet. Another excellent Ornette Coleman listening experience!
