Ornette Coleman: At the Golden Circle Vol. 1 & Vol. 2

Read "At the Golden Circle Vol. 1 & Vol. 2" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan

by C. Andrew Hovan

Maybe it was the supportive European crowd, largely acknowledged as a sympathetic bunch when it comes to American jazz, or the fact that innovator and iconoclast Ornette Coleman, after a two-year hiatus, was in full sprint at the end of 1965. Regardless of the extraneous factors, some of the alto saxophonist's most joyous and musically together ...
