Ornette Coleman - T. & T. download song

such a great album, it is a shame that there is not more, but all the other tracks are over 9 mins. C.&D. is amazing

Ed Blackwell's solo is one of my favourites on record.  A masterclass in coherent creativity.So innovatory,but with such deep roots  (New Orleans?); Up there with Elvin Jones on Coltrane's 'Africa /Brass,Max Roach with Rollins, [ and 'papa' Joe Jones. . .     . always! ]  Thanks for this, Fskhfskhkfsh .

NOLA Street Band drumming traces are obvious. Almost as humorfull as Thelonious in many of his originals !

Interestingly, all of the abbreviated song titles were taken from the works of Freud. This one stands for "Totem And Taboo", C & D stands for "Civilization And Its Discontents"- great bowed bass solo by Scott LaFaro on that one, up there with his Bill Evans Trio stuff. And THIS cut is great. Basically all Blackwell... my third favorite acoustic kit drummer of the late 50's- mid 60's period, right behind "Philly" Joe Jones and Tony Williams.

at one time I believe in the olde daze. he was known as "boogie"blackwell. one of theeee most important drummers of all time!

Ed Blackwell one of the most underrated masters of modern jazz drumming, its all there the march, swing and African polyrhythm-ning
