i may have mentioned this on another Don Cherry thread (or a terry riley thread), but there's a tape of the two of them playing sometime in the mid-70s that is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. it's reallyreallyreally beautiful.

Is there anything more from that session?
cos it's fucking great.
I've been told to listen to rip rig & panic by a lot of people but haven't got round to it yet.

Have you heard the album he did with Jon Appleton?

No
― admrl, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 16:58 (sixteen years ago) link
is it like the terry riley thing?
Ooh, this has a good handful of things that I'd always felt trepidation about searching. I only own Brown Rice, Mu, CC and LibMus, and had always worried that his '80s stuff was gonna be butt (wasn't that when he was drying out?)
― I eat cannibals, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 17:00 (sixteen years ago) link
I haven't listened to it in a while: Cherry + electronics, late 60s I think, I must dig it out. You got to admire his willingness to tkae chances. I haven't heard that Terry Riley thing. (xp)

anyone heard his album with Latif Khan? http://www.soundsoftheuniverse.com/releases/?id=15787
they claim it's a companion piece to Brown Rice.

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!

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. :(

was just listening to "Brown Rice" in the car just now! such a nice album. "Browwwwwn riiiice!"

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 ...

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

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.

Thanks to the death of Swedish saxophonist Bernt Rosengren, who worked a lot with Cherry in the early 70s, I've been revisiting Eternal Rhythm today and checking out two other albums I wasn't that familiar with, Brotherhood Suite (recordings from 1968-74, released in 1997) and The Summer House Sessions (recordings from 1972-74, released in 2021).

RIP Bernt!
i have always intended to track down a copy of BROTHERHOOD SUITE! will report back.

― tylerw, Tuesday, 16 May 2023 15:18 (one year ago) link
It doesn't look like Don ever recorded with the Mellotron that he wanted, although Eagle-Eye used a Chamberlin once.
The mention of heroin in that article, as a youthful "phase" outgrown after a few years, reminds me of something I read, probably in one of the books about Ornette Coleman. It said something about how Ornette despaired of Don Cherry ever escaping from addiction in the last decades of his life. I haven't read anywhere else of his addiction being an ongoing struggle or problem, though, so I wonder where the truth lies.
― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 18 May 2023 01:18 (one year ago) link
In one of her memoirs Viv Albertine talks about touring with Don Cherry in the 1970s and upsetting him by saying "I hate junkies", not knowing that Cherry was himself an addict (Cherry apparently replied, "I hate hate"). So I certainly think his addiction was more than a youthful phase, sadly.

In one of her memoirs Viv Albertine talks about touring with Don Cherry in the 1970s…Slight derail: with the first memoir I really liked or admired who I thought she was, the second memoir I cooled on that considerably.
