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.

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.

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...
