Listen, and you will understand and appreciate the shade of difference here." - Marian McPartland, liner notes...
RUSHOUR BROKEN SHADOWS Old and New Dreams Playing ECM : 1980 Dewey Redman, tenor sax, musette; Don Cherry, trumpet; Charlie Haden, bass; Ed Blackwell, drums.

Any album combining '60s hits like "Ode to Billie Joe" and "Respect" with Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman" deserves more than a passing glance. The late French saxophonist Barney Wilen was already thirty-one when he recorded Dear Prof. Leary with His Amazing Free Rock Band in 1968 for the German MPS label.

Don Cherry was an enigma. In the early days of his career the trumpeter was part of the scene that took jazz through several changes. He did this playing with Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane where the music was transformed into something electrifying.
