Don Cherry - s/d

man, i feel like it's every other day I find out about some awesome sounding Don Cherry record. mentioned it elsewhere, but the old dreams new dreams recordings are incredible! another good one maybe not mentioned here is Blue Lake, early 70s live stuff. A lot of Don on piano. Then there's also a great Lou Reed bootleg from 1976 with Cherry sitting in. The guy got around!

HI!

Cherry & Latif Khan is terrific. I'm pretty sure Pharaoh's Dance posted it a while back.

including an outstanding 1970 session with Terry Riley, different than the one posted upthread

!!!!

i just got the reissue of that cherry/latif khan lp from aquarius. it's really really great.

That is a great one. No idea that it had been reissued!

yeah cd and lp available from aquarius now.

he is the reason i started learning trumpet.

Fascinating jax0n facts.

dudes i am still in the throes of a serious addiction here. ORGANIC MUSIC is on its way to me! also, look out for the slow-to-speak records 12" with two jams from the holy mountain soundtrack on wax for the first time!

learning trumpet lasted 6 months. :(

was just listening to "Brown Rice" in the car just now! such a nice album. "Browwwwwn riiiice!"

yeah Brown Rice is my favorite

LOL i just realized why CODONA is called CODONA duhr

It's easy to figure out if you see it written like it is above CoDoNa.

And the names of the bands members are right after, of course. ;)

Someone mentioned it upthread, but El Corazon w/ Blackwell is worth seeking out! Was listening this morning, and it is a wonderful record. Kind of a travelogue -- from America to Spain to Africa and elsewhere ...

haven't seen it mentioned, but Art Deco is really lovely, too

cool! I actually don't know much past the early 80s. Is that a good one to start with?

i think so. of his last few releases under his own name - i useda have multikulti and don't remember it; and dona nostra sort of bored me. wouldn't mind relistening to those, but i've always liked Art deco- there are a few Ornette tracks, and DC and James Clay really play well together

just got the 2nd old and new dreams LP yesterday, and it starts with a KILLLLLER version of "lonely woman." i cannot stress how pleased ive been with the O&N dreams and codona records. i thought theyd just be cherry-lite one-offs, but they are great!

yeah, it might be blasphemy, but I've been digging that O&N "Lonely Woman" more than Ornette's original ... I put it on repeat for about an hour a few months ago.

i mean theyre both great teams

Classic for giving the world Neneh.

"just"

i'm sure having Don Cherry as your second cousin would be kinda influential ...

dude the tape-effects noise (i think?) at the end of "degi-degi" is definitely one of my favorite moments of recorded music

another brown rice-related revive. one of my favorite favorite records, so beautiful.

no one's mentioned New York Eye & Ear Control on this thread? Fucking all star line-up: Cherry, Ayler, Roswell Rudd, Sonny Murray ...

once got into a heated convo with a disgruntled co-worker about what does or (pointedly) DOES NOT constitute "music" upon the playing of that album

Been loving Old & New Dreams Playing. "MOPTI" especially.

picked up that cherry & latif khan thing today, on the rec of whoever compared it to brown rice. listening now, and it's glorious. simpler and much rawer in terms of production, but lovely playing and songs, def very similar in vibe. curious now to hear the holy mountain soundtrack stuff.

wtf at this audience picking up on the rhythm of "humus"

Here's that album cover again, just 'cause I loved it so much and you can't see it anymore

i listened to codona 3 this morning

apparently i just listened to the second side of codona 3 on 45 w/o knowing

I'm immersing myself in Hear and Now a lot in the last few weeks. The loose, funky, hippy grooves are so great. A real summer album. The Psychemagik mix re-alerted me to it. Anyway, the review hear and and the comment made me lol; http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=35491

The album is a truly gross example of Walden's schtick: bombastic cock-rock lead guitars, lumbering bass ostinatos, leaden drums, warbling background vocals, a faddish veneer of exotic mysticism and a sub-Wagnerian taste for dramatic shifts in dynamics.

uh, sign me up. these are the reasons i love it!

I know! Serious jazz critics, eh. A review on Amazon mocks Cherry's attire on the cover, I would love an outfit like that. ..a faddish veneer of exotic mysticism..

whoa wtf definitely watching this when i get back from the post office.

it's hella @_@

cool. feels like a half-baked hippie student film project, but the music is lovely.

really digging on Relativity Suite lately. here's a more recent link to it: http://flashstrap.blogspot.com/2011/02/spiriyual-jazz-obsession-don-cherry.html

great cover art, too.

don is high as shit in that forest scene
