Rare 1994 Japan-only 2CD set with the full recording of the 1966 soundtrack to the Thomas White film. With inserts.

condition (discs/cover): NM / NM

Inserts included. No obi.

The complete 1966 film-score sessions across two CDs: Ornette Coleman, David Izenzon and Charles Moffett scoring Who's Crazy? in extended, exploratory takes - the great mid-sixties trio caught thinking out loud at feature length, with all the working process the LP excerpts could only sample. Heard whole, the material plays like a secret live album: themes surface and dissolve, Ornette rotates through alto, trumpet and violin, moods shift with the unseen images, and the Izenzon-Moffett axis proves again that it could follow him absolutely anywhere at any speed. The trio's studio documentation is thin compared to its concert legend, which makes these sessions doubly valuable - hours of the band simply working, preserved.

The Freedom CD edition is the practical way to own the full document without hunting multiple rare LPs across two continents. For trio-era devotees - and that era converts everyone eventually - a generous, absorbing and quietly important package.
