Ornette Coleman Quintet - Complete Live At The Hillcrest Club
Wednesday, August 29, 2007
Gambit Records 69272 ***Don Cherry (t), Ornette Coleman (as), Paul Bley (p), Charlie Haden (b) and Billy Higgins (d). Rec. 1958This originally appeared on vinyl in the early 1970s under Paul Bley’s name. I could be wrong but I think he had the tapes and might have got the gig too, although it would seem that the band was leaderless as announced. From that point of view, re-titling it as a Coleman album is probably as accurate as any other nomination.
