  Ornette Coleman - Alto Sax
  Don Cherry - Trumpet
  Paul Bley - Piano
  Charlie Haden - Bass
  Billy Higgins - Drums

  Recorded at the Hillcrest Club,
  Los Angeles, Ocotober 1958.

  This originally appeared on vinyl in the early 1970s under Paul Bley's
  name. I could be wrong but I think he had the tapes and might have got
  the gig too, although it would seem that the band was leaderless as
  announced. From that point of view, re-titling it as a Coleman album is
  probably as accurate as any other nomination.
  Ornette Coleman Quintet - Complete Live At The Hillcrest Club
  The recording dates from October 1958, more than half a year after
  Ornette recorded Something Else! For Contemporary, again with Cherry and
  Higgins but with Don Payne on bass and Walter Norris on piano, and four
  months before Tomorrow Is The Question!, his first piano-less quartet
  recording, for the same label and with Shelly Manne on drums. The
  Hillcrest set repertoire includes 'The Blessing' and 'When Will The
  Blues Leave?' from Something Else! but fleshes things out with 'How Deep
  Is The Ocean', Roy Eldridge's 'I Remember Harlem' and Parker's
  'Klactoveesedstene'.
  There is also a preview version of 'Ramblin', a year before its eventual
  waxing for Atlantic, and a fragment of another Coleman tune,
  'Crossroads', that Bley did a cover version of in 1965. The date is not
  well recorded, with Bley's piano losing out the most, but he does fit in
  musically with what's going on around him and solos strongly. Ornette
  reveals his Charlie Parker roots on 'Klacto', reproducing Parker licks
  and showing he knew his bebop, even if his theme statements remain pure
  Ornette for timing and pitch. Cherry, on 'How Deep is The Ocean', shows
  he has closely studied Clifford Brown and taken more than a passing
  interest in Kenny Dorham. So, a valuable historical document for
  Coleman, Bley and Cherry fans and one marred only by the reversal of
  'When Will The Blues Leave' and 'Ramblin' in the song listings and by a
  disc that got stuck mid-way through the theme statement for
  'Crossroads'. A bit like the TV series, when you come to think of it.
