Rooster_Ties Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 Damn! I’m trying to remember ever seeing any(?) other Ornette footage that’s even half that compelling — in terms of line-up, footage and sound quality, compelling era, etc. Or what am I forgetting? Is there any footage of Ornette and Don Cherry for instance? (I’m not recalling. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 This is the kind of thing I would have bought on DVD in a nanosecond but those days are over. What other footage is there from the Berlin Jazz Festival? Booker Ervin? Miles? Don Cherry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the exact same thing I was thinking once I found this & watched. The up close shots ie Haden's bass playing, are just wonderful. Thanks to William M, another Australian board frequenter for hipping me to this footage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They filmed quite a few over the years. A lot of it is just beginning to surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Ed Blackwell has long been one of my favorite drummers. Seeing him play has taken that esteem - and love - to a whole new level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
