ED BLACKWELL QUARTET "TIN PALACE 1979"

 

This concert was most probably part of a double bill with the Moffett Family.

The picture above is from the Tin Palace. But obviously and unfortunately after it was used as a location for many wonderful concerts... And don't miss the interview Ted Panken conducted with Edward Blackwell in May 1986 https://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2011/07/21/edward-blackwell-wkcr-may-4-1986/

Old And New Dreams - Live in Nervi '79

"A virtual reincarnation of Ornette Coleman's first ensembles, the
cooperative Old and New Dreams brought together trumpeter Don
Cherry, tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden,
and drummer Ed Blackwell 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 (four 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 Cherry and Blackwell 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 Coleman's leadership
in the late '50s and early '60s."
