Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording
Here is an often-overlooked gem of a session, recorded in 1965 as Coleman returned from three years of isolation and taking stock after he had revolutionized jazz in large and in detail on his legendary quartet recordings on Atlantic. Habituated to cries of execration, he now had taken to playing trumpet and violin in a manner as idiosyncratic as--and more roughly schooled than--his already out-there alto saxophone approach. His Stockholm accompanists are in complete synch with the refracted logic of Coleman's serpentine, yelping-spirit style. David Izenson's singing, independently-minded bass playing prompts Coleman along his peripatetic way. Charles Moffett relishes any opportunity to break out into drum-corps rataplan, but overall he provides a sheet of ride cymbal and snare that grounds his wandering partners. --Peter Monaghan

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Both volumes of the Ornette Coleman Trio at the "Golden Circle" Stockholm are classic 60s avant-garde jazz albums. After his groundbreaking recordings with Atlantic, Coleman re-emerges with Blue Note in 1965 with these live sessions. On Volume 1, Ornette sticks to his native alto-sax, but on Volume 2 he branches out to violin and trumpet as well. The results of this multi-instrumentation are mixed, but is at the very least an interesting look into how a master composer and improviser tries to expand his methods for musical communication. Overall, any Ornette fan would be remiss to have this CDs absent from his/her collection."
