• On this record, the little-knownCharles Brackeenbrings his saxophone to a party with most ofOrnette Coleman’sband. As might be expected, whileBrackeencertainly holds his own, it’sOrnette’sboys who bring the thunder, playing aroundBrackeen‘s muscular alto as if they were a gang jumping on a new member.

  Haden‘s bass playing provides the frantic pulse, here and there ceding the stage toBlackwell’s flexible drumming and dropping out to provide rolling sheets of sound by bowing his instrument.BrackeenandCherrywrestle across this solid bedrock, with results that are often surprising and never short of beautiful.
