Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Recorded in Sweden in 1965, these celebrated recordings marked Ornette Coleman's return to activity following a three-year self-imposed exile from performing in public. In contrast to the compact, earthy swing that characterized his groundbreaking quartet recordings for Atlantic (collected on the vaunted Beauty Is a Rare Thing box), here Coleman projects his speechlike melodicism in paragraphs rather than poems, stretching out as if a creative dam had burst. David Izenzon's agility in the bass's high register and liquid beat anchor Coleman's flights of fancy, while Charles Moffett's inventive yet unobtrusive cymbal work adds drama to the overall group dynamic. Few musicians embody the discipline of spontaneity with the unbridled joy Coleman brings to each of these eight cuts, and on At the Golden Circle, Volume Two as well. An inspiring disc. --Jed Distler Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Ornette's classic trio recordingFor those of you who are unfamiliar with altoist/multi-instrumentalist composer Ornette Coleman, he is that rare musical breed, a "maverick" of rare originality as composer Virgil Thomson stated in an interview. Together with another revolutionary musician, Cecil Taylor, Coleman turned the musical world upside down with his Harmelodic theory. If you are hesitant about Ornette Coleman, then this classic recording might be the best place to start. Recorded in two nights at the Golden Circle in Stockholm, Swedan; Coleman and his trio which included 2 now long departed musicians, David Izenson on bass and Charles Moffet on drums, mesmerized audiences every night with their music. I was long turned off to Ornette even with his early Atlantic ... Read More: Rating:  - Beautiful saxophone playingOrnette Coleman only brought a trio to Stockholm, but since he was playing at such a high level, it was all that was needed. The songs are all catchy, and it's simply great saxophone to carry it all through. "Faces And Places" and "Dee Dee" are outstanding, the reasons I give four instead of five stars are the cutesy note-jumps in "European Echoes" and some dragginess in "Dawn". I saw a passing online comment equating Ornette with scary music. The best way to refute that misnomer is with this CD. Rating: - Unchained melodyA true definition of Ornette Coleman 's idiosyncratic theory of harmolodics eluded this listener in the spring of -66 when I bought this record. The leader's R&B Texas wail, the bassist David Izenson plays as if every note was his last. It's all here: the nascent bag of bends, trills, and double stops that mark Coleman's later work, the weaving of others' solos into the evolving quilt of composition, the ardent commitment to unchained melody on all levels, and a deep, soulful tone that embraces gospel and the Deep South. Couldn't get it. Then in the winter of -67 I was stationed up north in Finland, was in the army and there was a jazz... as a sergeant and he, of all people in the universe, played this music in his room. Amazin stuff, it hit ... Read More: Rating: - Less is MoreThe gigs the Ornette Coleman Trio played at the Golden Cirkeln must have been very memorable for those in attendance. I enjoy most the way Ornette, bass-player Izenzon, and drummer Moffett take on the task of remaining in synch in this free-jazz type setting. Both Moffett and Inzenzon seem to always know how to recover during Ornette's many spontaneous excursions. Furthermore, there is nothing pretentious about this music. Ornette seems to have a theme for each song, and the trio takes it from there. "European Echoes" is my favorite because of its simplicity and humor. I think all musicians should listen to Coleman's music as a means for understanding how to make good music through being real and spontaneous, for those qualities seem to ... Read More: Rating: - Great saxophone trioOrnette Coleman emerged from retirement in 1965 with one of his most exciting groups -- a trio featuring bassist David Izenzon and drummer Charles Moffett. It's great to hear Ornette stretch out more than in the early Atlantic recordings and his interplay with Izenzon and Moffett is practically telepathic. Ornette's playing is lively, humorous, and very melodic; he plays alto sax exclusively on this CD. This RVG reissue almost doubles the playing time of the original CD issue, with alternate takes of the freebop gem "Faces and Places" and the goofy waltz "European Echoes" as well as the previously unreleased "Doughnuts". Volume 2 is also great though slightly more "out". |
