Synopsis

Product Description
For the first time on CD, this release contains an amazing 1959 concert featuring Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Jimmy Giuffre and Kenny Dorham. The Lenox School of Jazz was a summer program in Lenox, Massachusetts founded by John Lewis and held from 1957 to 1960. It was one of the first instances where the world's greatest Jazz musicians were enlisted as faculty and where Jazz was taught to promising young musicians. This release presents the rare and long unavailable 1959 Lenox Annual Benefit Concert. As a bonus, an extremely rare quartet set by Kenny Dorham, who was one of the mentors at the Lenox School. Free Factory. 2009.
 

CD Reviews

Poor quality sound
Richard G. Dinatale | jacksonville Fl. | 11/08/2009
(2 out of 5 stars)

"If you buy this recording for Ornette,you will get very little. Two scratchy cuts from a student concert with typical early playing. The rest of the CD has intresting moments of rather intellectual jazz by players of varous levels. Your better off with the Hillcrest club collection."
