A virtual reincarnation of <a href="spotify:artist:47odibUtrN3lnWx0p0pk2P">Ornette Coleman</a>'s first ensembles, the cooperative Old and New Dreams brought together trumpeter <a href="spotify:artist:3uPWecBPNXAChysw1uOJwI">Don Cherry</a>, tenor saxophonist <a href="spotify:artist:3GHsUE2VmzMaweAB3RjX4m">Dewey Redman</a>, bassist <a href="spotify:artist:5Pqc0ZFA20Y9zGJZ3ojUin">Charlie Haden</a>, and drummer <a href="spotify:artist:6OyNnPUKtNrjm5QQkK0Px9">Ed Blackwell</a> to reinterpret the master's early repertoire. By the time their first album was released in 1978, ECM's Old and New Dreams, all four musicians were leaders with their own projects; this perhaps explains the intermittent nature of their ensuing collaboration (three albums in ten years). The quality of the group's recordings was uniformly high; the two ECM albums benefit from that label's characteristic clarity of sound. With the deaths of <a href="spotify:artist:3uPWecBPNXAChysw1uOJwI">Cherry</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7FuVpHhaW1uKc4CycrUuzt">Blackwell</a> in the '90s, further collaborations of course became impossible. However, the band's limited yet superb output is an important complement to the work they did under <a href="spotify:artist:47odibUtrN3lnWx0p0pk2P">Coleman</a>'s leadership in the late '50s and early '60s. ~ Chris Kelsey, Rovi
