Reissue and
remastered. Comes with new liner notes. Available only for a limited
period of time until March 20, 2015. This four-part suite is actually a
film soundtrack to the debut feature by Conrad Rooks, though it was
never used as such. Recorded in 1965, it was performed by the Ornette
Coleman Trio with Charles Moffett on drums and David Izenson on bass;
augmenting the session were Pharoah Sanders on tenor and a large studio
orchestra arranged by Joseph Tekula. What is most notable is the kind of
control Coleman has over the orchestra. His trio is playing by
intuition, which was normal for them, but they open to accommodate the
more formal constructs of a band who knows little about improvisation
and how it works in the free jazz context.
Sanders' interaction with Coleman is startling too, in that his normally
overpowering voice is tempered here, playing along with the nuances and
odd harmonic figures Coleman suggests and then blatantly states from
his alto. The improvisation is complementary, not a cutting contest at
all. Most of all, the rhythm section carries the balance of power and
keeps the entire thing moving, handling the dynamic changes with a feral
grace while at the same time suggesting a knottier path for Coleman to
follow in the tempting pastoral sections of the work. While not
considered a masterwork of Coleman's, perhaps because of its
unavailability in the United States in its entirety, Chappaqua Suite is a
testament to Coleman's vision as a composer and the power of his
orchestral direction. Very worthwhile indeed.
