By late 1962, when Prince Lasha and Sonny Simmons recorded The
Cry!, Ornette Coleman's success had opened listeners' ears to
free jazz. John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy further paved the way
for acceptance of music moving away from the traditional
moorings of jazz improvisation. It would be a mistake, however,
to assume that Lasha and Simmons were emulating Coleman. Lasha
was a childhood friend of Coleman's in Texas and the two played
together for years, trading ideas and influencing one another.
In California in 1954, Lasha and Simmons developed an affinity
and collaborated in free jazz for several years before
Coleman's entry into the general consciousness. The Cry! found
them becoming increasingly intrepid with harmony and melody
while their bassists and drummer maintained an older rhythmic
feeling. The resulting creative dissonance contributed to a
sense of exhilaration and discovery in their music.
