I was lucky enough to play and hang out with Don and Blackwell many times. They were both very beautiful and gentle cats- no posturing involved. Sidewalk, there is still music out there- maybe it's harder to find. Keep looking and listening. Peace be with you all.
Although never together as Old and New Dreams, I can count myself among the fortunate of having seen every one of these guys in performance. Certainly has made my life a better thing.
@MusicLessonsComp So true, although I don't think there are any young lions out there anymore, just little kittens with no teeth at all, Jazz in it's current state is in such bad shape.
wow... thank you for the title, sonor1. Yeah, I been getting this tune stuck in my head for years now, but had forgotten the title...
As a former drummer, I am so moved by Ed Blackwell.. He's lyrical, and his tunes actually get played over and over in my head when I'm spacing out... heh heh...

First rate Avant-Garde! Light years still ahead from what so many "young lions" claim to be "discovering" nowadays.

Thanks for putting this up. Blackwell is amazing... one of my all time favorite drummers. Wish I could have seen him play live.
