Ornette Coleman with Patti Smith



Not sure if this has been mentioned here. Just came
across a recording of an Ornette Coleman performance
in Modena Italy, Oct. 10, '06. Patti makes an
appearance, singing on two songs. 

"Most interesting is the vocal starting a little over
half way through Lonely Woman. Smith (who doesn't sing
the common lyrics to the tune) is not as simpatico to
the harmolodic concept as some other singers Ornette
has used, like Mari Okubo and Sylvie Jensen. Instead
of integrating herself into the band's sound, they
adapt to what she is doing. Different, but
fascinating. Turnaroud, which also has vocals, is
performed more straight forward than I've ever heard,
with Falanga plucking a walking bass line, and
MacDowell strumming, sounding almost organ-like."

It's being torrented on Dime. I can't wait to get home
to snag this.
