Old and New Dreams was a jazz group that existed from 1976 to 1987, and was composed of tenor saxophone player Dewey Redman (doubling on musette), bassist Charlie Haden, trumpet player Don Cherry and drummer Ed Blackwell. All of the members were former sidemen of free jazz progenitor, alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman, and the group played a mix of Coleman's compositions and originals by the band members.
They released two records on the German jazz label ECM: a self-titled release in 1979 and Playing, recorded live, a year later. These discs were bookended by a pair of discs on the Italian Black Saint label: a studio record from 1976 (also self-titled) and 1987's One For Blackwell, capturing the quartet's final concert at a birthday celebration for Blackwell.
Haden is the only surviving member of the quartet, Blackwell having died in 1992, Cherry in 1995 and Redman in 2006.
