• On CD for the first time ever, the complete and long unavailable Ornette Coleman concert at Fairfield Hall, Croydon, on August 29, 1965 - which includes a long chamber work written by Coleman as well as seven inimitable performances by Ornette and his classic trio with David Izenzon and Charles Moffett.

• It immediately follows the “Chappaqua Suite” sessions in Ornette’s discography, and has the particularity of presenting both a set by Coleman’s spectacular trio and a performance of “Forms and Sound for Wind Quintet” – a ten-movement chamber suite composed by the saxophonist, but performed by the Virtuoso Ensemble, of which this seems to be the only existing recording.

• Personnel : Ornette Coleman, alto sax (trumpet and violin on 4); David Izenzon, bass; Charles Moffett, drums. Track 1 features the Virtuoso Ensemble: John Burden (fhr), Edward Walker (fl), Derek Wickens (oboe), Sidney Fell (cl), and Cecil James (bassoon).

• Total Time: 78:16 - 8 tracks.
