Friends and Neighbors: Live at Prince Street

Released

This album was recorded at Coleman’s loft on Valentine’s Day 1970 and released in 1972 on the independent Flying Dutchman label, which is why it often falls through the cracks of his discography. It’s a loose, energetic set featuring tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Ed Blackwell, and it often has the feel of a jam or a party, especially when a group of “friends and neighbors” erupt into a rough singalong on the title piece.
