Rabble Without A Cause
Wednesday March 8th, 2023 with Bruce Walton
Ornette's birthday

Ornette Coleman was born in Texas on March 30, 1930. He died in 2015. This episode of Rabble continues the celebration that began in the 2nd hour of In A Mellow Tone - starting with six more tracks from 1958, '59, '60 and 1970. The bulk of the program is devoted to the full album, Free Jazz - A Collective Improvisation by the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet, recorded in December 1960 as one uninterrupted take of 36+ minutes. The two quartets are Ornette/Don Cherry/Scott LaFaro/Billy Higgins on one channel, and Eric Dolphy/Freddie Hubbard/Charlie Haden/Ed Blackwell on the other.
