Ornette Coleman Plays For The White House
lundi 3 août 2026 • Durée 24:52
Opening song: “A Love Like This” (Ned Washington, Victor Young), from Charlie Haden Quartet West’s Sophisticated Ladies (2010, Universal France).
It is Sunday, August 2nd, 2026. Despite making threats and promises, President Trump has not bombed Iran for the past seven days. The average U.S. gas price has been stable at $4.10 per gallon. In other news, The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Fox television host Jeanine Pirro, dropped Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism charges against 67 year old David Hearn, admitting to a judge that President Trump’s accusations against the former Olympian were lies.
I normally use this forum to post interesting audio discoveries from my father, jazz bassist Charlie Haden’s, archives. I’ve been sorting through what has become box 78. It’s a large translucent plastic storage container with a white lid. Most of the material is sheet music, both commercial, mostly classical music, and original music written my Charlie and others. There are also a lot of knickknacks including an LG Verizon flip phone, a 2008 “Cellboost” phone battery charger still in original packaging, a full container of OraLabs Ice Drops, an all access backstage pass for Neil Young + Promise of the Real Rebel Content Tour 2015, an address book, empty wallets, a pair of sunglasses, business cards, and Charlie’s expired U.S. passport from 1983. One of the music sheets led me to a performance I was never aware of before now. On June 18, 1978, Ornette Coleman and his son Denardo performed the song “Earth Souls” on stage at President Jimmy Carter’s White House Jazz Festival, which took place on the South Lawn of the White House, with the president and first lady in attendance. Can the podcast listener imagine anything like that happening under President Trump? Let’s imagine the President Trump Jazz Festival. Who would play at it? Kid Rock, Vanilla Ice, and a guy who sits on a toilet posting to YouTube. Jimmy Carter invited Ornette Coleman, Max Roach, John Lewis, and McCoy Tyner, and they all accepted.

Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra, Marciac, France, 5 August 2004, Disc 2
lundi 27 juillet 2026 • Durée 52:24
Opening song: '“Focus On Sanity”, from Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come (1959, Atlantic).
It is Sunday, July 26th, 2026. After bombing Iran for 13 straight days, U.S. gas pump prices rose almost 4%. The average price of fuel is $4.11 per gallon as of today, up from the $4.10 average on Friday. It has been two days since U.S. President Trump has bombed Iran.
The Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra’s performance in Marciac, France, on August 5, 2004 included material they had recently recorded for the album Not In Our Name. The album was a response to the policies of then president George W. Bush, especially the Iraq War. It was recorded for Radio France and was discovered in two parts, on two separate CD-R discs, in the archive of Charlie Haden. I present part two. Thanks for listening.

Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra, Marciac, France, 5 August 2004
lundi 20 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:30:10
Opening song: Song For Che, from Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra (1970).
It is Sunday, July 19, 2026. U.S. President Trump has bombed Iran for the eighth straight day in a war that was started for no logical reason. The Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra was formed in 1969 as an artistic rebuttal to then U.S. President Nixon’s war against Vietnam, a war, much like the current one, started for dubious reasons and ending in death, destruction, and no answers or solutions, other than monetary gain for the top 1% of the world. If my father had lived to see Donald Trump’s presidency he would have no doubt felt compelled to release another Orchestra album. We only have his past works to speak for him, 1970’s Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra, 1983’s The Ballad Of The Fallen, put out during the Ronald Reagan presidency, 1990’s Dream Keeper, during the George H.W. Bush regime, and 2005’s Not in Our Name, during the administration of George W. Bush. 2016’s Time/Life included elements he had been developing with his long time arranger Carla Bley, and was posthumously released as a foreshadow to Trump’s presidency.
The Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra’s performance in Marciac, France, on August 5, 2004 included material they had recently recorded for Not In Our Name. It was recorded for Radio France and was discovered in two parts, on two separate CD-R discs, in the archive of Charlie Haden. Thanks for listening.

"I Was Attacked By A Rottweiler Dog!"
jeudi 15 janvier 2026 • Durée 19:25
Bassist Charlie Haden and manager & wife Ruth Cameron spoke to Finnish Radio Broadcasting’s jazz host Markku Salo by telephone, from their Malibu home. The air date was 23 April 2001.
“I’m not working right now because my wife and I were attacked by a Rottweiler dog,” says Charlie, a fresh cup of coffee beside him. Mr. Salo explains to his listeners, in Finnish, that Charlie and Ruth were walking their dog seven weeks earlier when a Rottweiler attacked them. Charlie had to go to the hospital. He’s recovering with a dog bite to the hand.
Charlie said to me, at the time: He and Ruth were walking Jackson at twilight. They saw a man and woman with a big dog walking towards them. The bigger dog pounced on Jackson. Charlie and Ruth tried to pry it away. The canine turned on Charlie. I can’t remember if it was Ruth or Charlie who jumped up onto the roof of a nearby parked car to escape.
Everyone, including Jackson, survived. Charlie and Ruth initiated legal action against the dog owners. They settled out of court. The dog owners moved out of the neighborhood. Charlie and Ruth used the money to purchase a house in Westlake Village, over the hill from Malibu.
Charlie and Mr. Salo switch to different topics. Charlie begins to speak. Mr. Salo overdubs his Finnish language version: the recently released Charlie Haden Quartet West CD The Art Of The Song, made with vocalists Bill Henderson and Shirley Horn: Charlie prefers the band, vocalist, and string orchestra to be in the same room recording simultaneously, despite the extra expense. The musicians inspire and play off each other, in ways separation and overdubs won’t allow. The result is a product more authentic to the compositions themselves.
Charlie talks about Ken Burns’ recently aired multi-part TV documentary Jazz. He talks about Cole Porter and Ravel. He talks about the origins of Quartet West. How he uses the project to bring back songs he loved listening to as a youngster, and to “record” with musicians he was never able to play with, like saxophonist Charlie Parker and vocalist Jo Stafford. He wants to help save classic tunes from being lost to time. He recounts telling Jo Stafford’s husband, legendary bandleader Paul Weston, “What wonderful recordings you made back then. Something magical must have happened in the studio because the interpretations are so deep and beautiful.” To which Mr. Weston replied, “Charlie, to tell you the truth, I don’t even remember. It was just another ordinary workday.”

Duke Ellington, Fargo, North Dakota, 7 November 1940 (Complete) Disc One
mercredi 4 juin 2025 • Durée 01:18:00
IN MY MIND, the link to Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra (1970) is Charles Mingus’ 1964 LP Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus. But it starts with this recording, distributed as a bootleg until an “official” release in 1978. The Duke Ellington Orchestra live in concert at the Crystal Ballroom, Fargo, North Dakota, 7 November 1940. Specifically their versions of “Mood Indigo”, almost midway through this set, and the 30 second rendition of “God Bless America”, appearing at the end of disc 2, which I’ll post next week. Charlie owned at least two versions of the “commercial” release: the U.K. “Volume 1” vinyl, and the 1995 Japanese 2X CD, which I post here. Solid, Jackson.

Charlie talks about his 1970 Liberation Music Orchestra album. Songs of the Spanish Civil War. Improvising to the music of the Spanish Republican Army. He says that the recent election of President George W. Bush would neccessitate a new Liberation Music Orchestra album. He talks about his upcoming CD of Cuban music, Nocturne, which would win a Grammy.
Charlie says he isn’t upset with any current trends in jazz. “I’m not upset about anything as long as I can play.”
I am rather concerned that more people should be brought into contact with deeper art and its deeper values so that our society would become a more sensitive, humble and profound people, where life and beauty are valued. I think our society seems to be going in the exact opposite direction. Music is becoming more and more commercialized all the time. I think today, in my parents’ singing group, it was real back then.
Because every time I play quarter notes with a message, we play a million hits from the 1940s. From Glen Miller and Tommy Dorsey to The Pipers and Friends to Sinatra to Jo Stafford to King Cole Trio to Fletcher Henderson, and each of those in common and in their distribution sold millions of records and played to thousands of listeners in their concerts. I’m worried that we’re losing art and its values.*
They talk about Charlie Haden Quartet West’s upcoming Finnish concert. Charlie loves Finland. The people are warm. The Finns like beauty and jazz and have always treated him well.
The rest of the cassette contains a dub of Cuban guitarist, singer, and revolutionary songwriter Carlos Puebla’s 1976 album Soy Del Pueblo,recorded in Finland.
