CHARLIE HADEN - The Golden Number (Verve By Request Series) - LP - Deluxe 180g Vinyl

In this collection of bass-led duets, Charlie Haden enlists Don Cherry (trumpet/flute), Archie Shepp (tenor), Hampton Hawes (piano) and a trumpet playing Ornette Coleman on the four tracks. Hawes’ playing on the Ornette-penned “Turnaround” is the clear straight-ahead highlight of this generally exploratory album.

This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
