- Another Ornette Coleman disc worth owning is the Impulse release "Crisis",
- featuring Charlie Haden's "Song for Che" and the piece "Trouble in the East"
- (which contains some nice bowing from Haden). I haven't seen a CD reissue, my
- copy is on LP. Dewey Redman is also on the recording, which is live from
- 1969. Denardo's drums have improved (how could they not!) from his playing on
- the LP "Ornette at 12", also on Impulse or "Empty Foxhole" on Blue Note.
