Charlie Haden - The Golden Number (Verve By Request Series) (LP)

The Golden Number finds legendary bassist Charlie Haden collaborating with a stellar lineup of jazz visionaries, including Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, Hampton Hawes, and Ornette Coleman. Originally released in 1977, this adventurous album showcases a series of intimate, bass-led duets that highlight Haden's musical depth and his ability to connect with some of jazz’s most influential voices.

This edition features a gatefold cover with messages from Haden and his collaborators, deepening the listener’s connection to the album’s collaborative spirit. Exploratory in nature yet punctuated by highlights like Hawes’ vibrant piano work on the Ornette Coleman-penned “Turnaround,” The Golden Number stands out as a compelling document of creative improvisation at the height of the 1970s jazz scene.
