Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Ed Blackwell initially came together to celebrate the work of their mentor Ornette Coleman. However, the repertoire of their quartet Old and New Dreams quickly evolved into a project of much broader scope, incorporating each member's individual experiences through the diversity of their collaborations and travels around the world.
In addition to superlative versions of Ornette's classics like 'Lonely Woman' and 'Open or Close', this seminal album, now considered a milestone in modern jazz history, also includes pieces by:
• Don Cherry and Blackwell inspired by African music,
• Dewey Redman's enigmatic composition 'Orbit of La-Ba', and
• Charlie Haden's much more impressionistic piece titled 'Song for the Whales'.
