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!
― 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.

here you can find william parker talking about playing with don cherry and sandy bull:
http://archive.soundamerican.org/sa_archive/sa14/sa14-the-interviews.html
sandy bull discussion comes in c. 7min
JC: How big was the group that he invited you to play with?WP: Well, we had Ed Blackwell, we had Billy Higgins, we had Frank Lowe [...] Sandy Bull was playing oud. So it was a big group. And I had been playing with Frank Lowe already [...] and this materializes as tapes of this concert now. Which I have somewhere, someone gave me a CD of it.

William Parker: You see, Don could play with anybody. He could go to Turkey and play with the Turkish musicians. Go to Africa, go to Egypt, go to India. He could play with Lou Reed, he could play with Muddy Waters. And then you could say, "Oh wow, that's Don." He would never lose his identity no matter what kind of music he was playing, but he could always feel comfortable in playing any kind of music.[...]In Don's world, it was that everything is music. You know, the melody, the rhythm, the folk, the electronics, 'cause he's done stuff with electronic music. So he had no fear of any kind of music. Which shows you that it's not the style of music, and it's not the content of the music. It's the soul and spirit of the music that makes it work.
