Don CHERRY, Dewey REDMAN, Charlie HADEN, Eddie BLACKWELL - Old And New Dreams 1977
BSR 0013
Jazz
Comprised of Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell, this group of Ornette Coleman alumni convened in the mid-70’s for tours and several recordings. I was lucky to hear them live a number of times in the early 80’s, and each time was a revelation. “Dewey’s Tune” is from their first (and lesser known) eponymous album on the Black Saint label (1976)—recorded without the gloss of the later ECM studio recording (1979). This one tune showcases everything that the group had to offer: parade rhythms from Blackwell, hand-in-glove melodies from Cherry and Redman, springy, inventive bass lines from Haden, the group’s patented call and response, and concise, always swinging solos from everyone. The beginning of Cherry’s solo is a high point, but the whole tune is beautiful and perfectly exemplifies the ethos of Old and New Dreams.

A virtual reincarnation of Ornette Coleman's first ensembles, the cooperative Old and New Dreams brought together trumpeter Don Cherry, tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Ed Blackwell to reinterpret the master's early repertoire. By the time their first album was released in 1978, ECM's Old and New Dreams, all four musicians were leaders with their own projects; this perhaps explains the intermittent nature of their ensuing collaboration (three albums in ten years). The quality of the group's recordings was uniformly high; the two ECM albums benefit from that label's characteristic clarity of sound. With the deaths of Cherry and Blackwell in the '90s, further collaborations of course became impossible. However, the band's limited yet superb output is an important complement to the work they did under Coleman's leadership in the late '50s and early '60s.
