Details: On CD for the first time ever, the complete and long unavailable Ornette Coleman concert at Fairfield Hall, Croydon, on August 29, 1965 - which includes a long chamber work written by Coleman as well as seven inimitable performances by Ornette and his classic trio with David Izenzon and Charles Moffett. It immediately follows the "Chappaqua Suite" sessions in Ornette's discography, and has the particularity of presenting both a set by Coleman's spectacular trio and a performance of "Forms and Sound for Wind Quintet" -- a ten-movement chamber suite composed by the saxophonist, but performed by the Virtuoso Ensemble, of which this seems to be the only existing recording.Features:
