Originally commissioned by actor/director Conrad Rooks as the soundtrack to his film Chappaqua, the music was not used.
Rooks decided upon hearing Coleman's music that he found it was so beautiful that he feared it would overpower the imagery and action of the film.
Instead, Columbia Records released it as a double album, but gave it very little promotion and the album sold poorly.
It was taken out of print the following year and has since come back into print intermittently and in very small editions.
Chappaqua Suite was Coleman's first studio recording with his trio featuring David Izenzon on bass and Charles Moffett on drums.
Coleman's suite is four parts, each occupying a full record side.
Tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders appears on the fourth part of the suite.
Side One: Part I (21:25)
Side Two: Part II (19:00)
Side Three: Part III (17:40)
Side Four: Part IV (21:58)
LABELS: EXCELLENT++
Clean, unmarked labels with just a few light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
All four surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen with just some light hairlines/brush marks and a more prominent mark on Side Three - none of these marks have any real audio impact.
There are a couple of pin-point white spots within the vinyl itself which do cause a couple of light clicks
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Apart from a few light clicks caused by the spots mentioned above (very minor) my playback at loud volume revealed no other audio issues of note and the whole set plays beautifully throughout with no scratches, no surface noise and no groove-wear or distortion - this set has seen little play
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Light wear to the edges and surfaces but clean and unmarked with a glossy sheen to the outer laminate and clean unlaminated inner surfaces
INNER SLEEVES: EXCELLENT++
Like-new - clean and fresh with no seam splits - just some corner creasing which no doubt happened when the records were inserted into the sleeve at the factory
