CHAPPAQUA with Ornette Coleman's CHAPPAQUA SUITE
CHAPPAQUA with Ornette Coleman's CHAPPAQUA SUITE
Dir. Conrad Rooks, 1966
USA, 82 min.
C. SPENCER YEH PRESENTS HIS OWN RENDITION OF CONRAD ROOK'S CHAPPAQUA WITH ORNETTE COLEMAN'S ORIGINAL SCORE THE CHAPPAQUA SUITE.
Conrad Rooks wrote, directed and starred in this psychedelic cult film based on his own experiences with drug and alchohol addiction and his therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs to treat that addiction. CHAPPAQUA features appearances by Ornette Coleman (credited as "Peyote Eater"), William S. Burroughs, Jean-Louis Barrault, guru Swami Satchidananda, The Fugs, Allen Ginsberg, Moondog and Ravi Shankar.
Conrad Rooks originally commissioned Ornette Coleman to score CHAPPAQUA, resulting in Coleman's Chappaqua Suite. Upon hearing it, Rooks allegedly decided that the piece would overshadow his film and decided not to use it. In a tribute to Ornette Coleman, Spectacle presents its own rendition of CHAPPAQUA with Ornette Coleman's original composition in place.
