LP 18CACKLP£16.99In stockADD TO BAG1. Music, Wisdom, Love2. Music, Wisdom, Love (Film Edit With Poetry)Another essential release from Finders Keepers!
Reaching a near-mythical status amongst fans of free jazz’s most worldly intrepid explorer, these seldom heard Paris soundtrack sessions known as ‘Music, Wisdom, Love’ have evaded collectors’ grasps and confused historians for exactly 50 years. Instigated in Paris in 1967 and filmed during Don’s downtime on a visit to the Chat qui Pêche nightclub in March 1967 (where he played with Karl Berger, Henri Texier and Jacques Thollot), the bulk of this cinematic portrait was filmed on the streets of Paris under the direction of creative all-rounders Jean-Noël Delamarre and Nathalie Perrey who, as their careers bloomed, would become pivotal figures in underground French cinema - straddling La Nouvelle Vague, adult entertainment and cinema fantastique in what can only be described as speedball cinema.
Available for the first time ever and licensed from producer and director Jean-Noel Delamarre himself.

Avant-garde jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and textile artist Moki Cherry (née Karlsson) met in Sweden in the late sixties. They soon began to live and perform together, dubbing their mix of communal art, social and environmentalist activism, children’s education, and pan-ethnic expression “Organic Music.” We have a robust program dedicated to this woefully under-examined period of the couple’s visionary collaborative practice planned for this spring, including an art exhibition at our Clinton Hill space, a special issue of our anthology, two archival records, and—with luck—a performance program.In anticipation of this season-long series, we are now taking pre-orders for our Organic Music Societies anthology as well as two albums of newly unearthed music by Don Cherry.

I don't really know much about jazz but I heard Om Shanti Om and I love it. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar albums?
― paolo, Friday, 21 May 2021 07:45 (three years ago) link
There's a rich world of stuff that inhabits a similar universe to this period of Cherry's life. There will be others on here with a more in-depth knowledge, but I'd go for Cherry's Organic Music Society album (any of their albums, really) the archival stuff he did with Terry Riley and Thembi by Pharoah Sanders. Then you're onto Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi collective and you're away...

Thanks folks! That Terry Riley and Don Cherry one is my favourite of those
― paolo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 12:48 (three years ago) link
if you haven't already there's also the complete discography of alice coltrane. 70s stuff is more "jazz" if that matters
― Left, Saturday, 22 May 2021 15:32 (three years ago) link
I have heard some Alice Coltrane, I like her less jazzy material the best
― paolo, Saturday, 22 May 2021 17:45 (three years ago) link
you might also like pharoah sanders (try Pharoah 1977) or the Codona Albums that Cherry recorded with Colin Walcott and Nana Vasconcelos

Malinye is my favourite track by them (off '2')

Good calls! Those Codona albums are my fave. I'm basically looking for jazz that's actually more world music than actual jazz.

(I don't like the term 'world music' but can't think of a better one, maybe fourth world?)

I really liked the first track on Pharaoh 1977
― paolo, Monday, 24 May 2021 12:58 (three years ago) link
If you know Codona, then you may already know Oregon? I'm only know their debut album Music of Another Present Era, but it seems to fit your description.
― Halfway there but for you, Monday, 24 May 2021 13:50 (three years ago) link
I'd suggest checking out Sanders' albums Village of the Pharoahs and Wisdom through Music too.
Other ideas: The Art Ensemble of Chicago's Bap-Tizum and Phil Cohran's On the Beach
― rob, Monday, 24 May 2021 13:53 (three years ago) link
This might sound weird, but coming at Om Shanti Om from another angle: Baden Powell & Vinícius De Moraes Os Afro Sambas and this compilation: https://analogafrica.bandcamp.com/album/jamb-e-os-m-ticos-sons-da-amaz-nia/

It's a different soundworld insofar as it specifically draws upon Middle Eastern folk music, but you may also enjoy Anouar Brahem. Barzakh and Astrakan Café are very much worth everyone's time.

In the appendix to his jazz book But Beautiful, Geoff Dyer identifies this sub-genre as one of the most promising routes for jazz to take, and he mentions numerous records that could qualify in his discography.
― Halfway there but for you, Monday, 24 May 2021 17:01 (three years ago) link
Some late 60s Art Ensemble of Chicago stuff might do it for you, like People in Sorrow and Reese and the Smooth Ones. Also try Sunny Murray's Homage to Africa.
