Old and New Dreams

Reviewer Scott Yanow called Old and New Dreams "one of the late '80s finest groups", and stated that "they joined The Mingus Dynasty, Sphere, and Dameronia as bands that weren't simply repertory units, but evolving groups using a great composer's material as a starting point for their own peerless interpretations." Robert Palmer stated: "The band's style is as broadly eclectic as the players' disparate personalities and experiences. But Old and New Dreams is also a kind of floating conservatory that keeps the music of the early Coleman quartets - the original 'free jazz' - alive and before the public." ==Discography==
