Description:

Sound recording of live performances by musicians on piano, alto saxophone, trumpet, drums, and double bass of an unidentified blues, a contrafact over All the Things You Are chord changes, Free (Coleman), Ruby My Dear (Thelonius Monk), When Will the Blues Leave (Coleman) combined with another unidentified composition, Little Rootie Tootie (Monk), and other unidentified compositions; and fragments from audio reel boxes, found separated from the recording, which are evidently related to part of the recording (originals).

1. Other extent, physical details information - 1 audio reel : acetate, 19 cm/sec., 2 track, 1/2 track mono; reel: 25 cm.~2. No relevant accompanying documentation; clearly a recording of the October 1958 quintet led by Bley (piano) with Ornette Coleman (alto saxophone), Don Cherry (trumpet), Charlie Haden (double bass), and Billy Higgins (drums).~3. The boxes for two smaller (18 cm) audio reels, found separated from this recording, correspond closely to (and provide additional information on) the first three pieces: the blues, which is attributed to Coleman (untitled); the contrafact of All the Things You Are, which is also attributed to Coleman, and which is titled Cherry's Dream on one box; and Free. It is possible that the present recording is an assembly of one of these two smaller audio reels (which appear to be different generations of the same recording) and another undocumented recording of the same quintet.~Music Section shelf number: T10 4084.
