Formed two-and-a-half years before for a one off record date for Italy´s
Black Saint Label, Old And New Dreams, a quartet comprised of former
associates of Ornette Coleman was re-launched in 1979. As bassist
Charlie Haden explained: „We feel that everything we experienced
together playing with Ornette shouldn´t stop. That improvised acoustic
music doesn´t happen now, not that way. We´re not duplicating 20-year
old songs, but playing from Ornette´s harmelodic concept which each of
us grew up in, playing on the feeling rather than the chord structure or
melody.“
