Ornette Coleman - Chappaqua Suite - CBS FR 1966 1st press NM/VG+

When director Conrad Rooks asked Ornette Coleman to record the original soundtrack for his film Chappaqua Suite in 1965, he didn't expect to receive such an outburst. Ornette, his rhythm section and Pharoah Sanders have indeed a lot of fun to destroy their theme snippets. So much so that the director feared that this music would take up too much of the viewer's attention and distract him from the images. A too perfect soundtrack in a way. The illustration of the film will finally be entrusted to Ravi Shankar. But the tapes recorded by Ornette will nevertheless be published originally in France, and here they are!
