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!

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

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

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. :(

― tylerw, Thursday, 6 August 2009 19:04 (fourteen years ago) link

It's easy to figure out if you see it written like it is above CoDoNa.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 31 August 2009 22:38 (fourteen years ago) link
And the names of the bands members are right after, of course. ;)
― Alex in SF, Monday, 31 August 2009 22:46 (fourteen years ago) link
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 ...
― tylerw, Monday, 23 November 2009 17:54 (fourteen years ago) link
haven't seen it mentioned, but Art Deco is really lovely, too
― controlled noise pollution (outdoor_miner), Monday, 23 November 2009 18:23 (fourteen years ago) link
cool! I actually don't know much past the early 80s. Is that a good one to start with?
― tylerw, Monday, 23 November 2009 18:24 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― controlled noise pollution (outdoor_miner), Monday, 23 November 2009 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link
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!
― 69, Monday, 23 November 2009 18:37 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― tylerw, Monday, 23 November 2009 18:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i mean theyre both great teams

i'm sure having Don Cherry as your second cousin would be kinda influential ...
― tylerw, Monday, 23 November 2009 18:56 (fourteen years ago) link
dude the tape-effects noise (i think?) at the end of "degi-degi" is definitely one of my favorite moments of recorded music
― 69, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 22:20 (fourteen years ago) link
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 ...
― sarahel, Monday, 18 October 2010 03:52 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― naked human hands and a foam rubber head (contenderizer), Monday, 18 October 2010 03:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Been loving Old & New Dreams Playing. "MOPTI" especially.
― andrew m., Monday, 18 October 2010 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― naked human hands and a foam rubber head (contenderizer), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 05:27 (thirteen years ago) link
wtf at this audience picking up on the rhythm of "humus"

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
― mmmm, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
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!
― jaxon, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
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..
