Chappaqua Suite is a free jazz album by alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman which was recorded in 1965 for Columbia Records.
It was originally commissioned by director Conrad Rooks as the soundtrack to his film Chappaqua; however, the music was not used in the released version of the film because Rooks decided upon hearing Coleman's music that its inherent beauty might detract from the force of the film.[1]
