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?
― 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

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.

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.

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 (twelve 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 (twelve 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..

I saw Don Cherry live, solo, some time in the second half of the 80s. I liked it but I don't remember much a this point, except that he played lots of different instruments and it was fairly laid back.

Begnt Berger's Bitter Funeral Beer with Cherry has been in my heavy rotation this past year, really wonderful hybrid of Eurojazz and African traditional. The concert footage transcends the LOL 80s garments (or maybe it's enhanced by it) tho' Cherry himself cuts a sharp profile:

Well, for one thing, it's that it's actually not my music, because it's a combination of different experiences, and different cultures, and different composers, that involves the music that we play together, or that I'm playing when I'm playing alone.
