Charlie Haden - The Golden Number - 180g for the Verve By Request series

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. Originally released on A&M's Horizon series, this Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
