 Don Cherry

Don Cherry died in 1995, and his son Eagle Eye and stepdaughter Neenah have become popular recording artists, no doubt nurtured and encouraged by the atmosphere of music that Cherry's own parents had passed on to him in the 1930s.

 Sound judgment - Don Cherry
A landmark in modern jazz, trumpeter Don Cherry's "Complete Communion" (1965) still sounds state-of-the-art; its particular marriage of freedom, form and sheer joyousness are a beacon for musicians looking for a way out of both mainstream and avant-garde cliches.

Complete Communion, from 1964, was Don Cherry's first session as a leader after brilliant sideman contributions with Ornette Coleman and Sonny Rollins, and it's one of the landmark records of the era.
Don Cherry and Gato Barbieri are playful with the composed parts and very free and lyrical with their solos.
Cherry, reduce da una lunga militanza nel quartetto di Ornette Coleman, trova in Barbieri il compagno ideale per intraprendere un dialogo brillante, fatto di suggerimenti, urli ed intrecci, condotto con una comunione d'intenti che sembra quasi telepatica.

 Don Cherry : Complete Communion - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
While the music on Complete Communion was still indebted to Coleman's concepts, Cherry injected enough of his own personality to begin differentiating himself as a leader.
The leader remains recognizably himself, and his burnished tone is a nice contrast with Barbieri's fiery approach; for his part, Barbieri's playing has a lot of speechlike inflections, and he spends a lot of time in the upper register of his horn, which makes him sound quite similar to Ornette at times.
As a whole, the project comes off remarkably well, establishing Cherry as an avant-garde force to be reckoned with in his own right.

on Cherry was one of the most "youthful" musicians in contemporary jazz after 1960.
Not only did he take part in the development of the free jazz idiom, but he was one of the first jazz musicians to seriously embrace other cultures, and develop a musical kind of multi-culturalism long before it became fashionable.
In this sense, Don Cherry probably is one of the most important fathers of so-called "world music".

 Don Cherry
During this time Cherry began working with the pocket trumpet, a scaled-down version of the instrument not typically associated with jazz, but through which he established his own distinctive style and timbral quality.
Towards the end of the 1960s Cherry fell into the orbit of the The Jazz Composers Orchestra, participating in the recording of the Michael Mantler-composed album Communications, as well as associated projects including Carla Bley's Escalator Over The Hill, and ex-Coleman Quartet bandmate Charlie Haden's first Liberation Music Orchestra effort.
Cherry's experimentation in what later came to be referred to as "world music" found a culmination in the creation of the trio Codona with Nana Vasconcelos and Collin Walcott in 1978, which synthesized aspects of Brazilian, Eastern Indian, and a variety of folk styles within an improvisational context.

 New Traditionalists by Art Ensemble Of Chicago / Don Cherry (Jazz) CD
Originally released separately on the Actuel label, the Art Ensemble of Chicago's REESE AND THE SMOOTH ONES and the first and second parts of Don Cherry's MU (initially two different albums) are reissued on Fuel Records courtesy of Varese Sarabande.
But the Art Ensemble's strong set is surpassed by multi-instrumentalist Don Cherry's MU sessions, which feature Cherry in duet with drummer Ed Blackwell.
The interplay between Blackwell's expressionistic rhythms (which are part martial pulse, part African groove, and part frantic hurricane) and Cherry's articulations on trumpet (which include folk themes, deep blues, and plenty of outside exploration) is masterful, making MU one of the great overlooked gems of free jazz.

Sidney Bechet was the undisputed the king of the soprano saxophone and also one of the most innovative and original clarinetists in jazz.
Along with King Oliver and Louis Armstrong, Bechet is part of the pantheon of New Orleans' greatest jazz musicians.
He mastered the rather difficult instrument, and succeeded in giving the soprano saxophone a prominent place in jazz as a solo instrument.

On "The Blessing," Trane matches Cherry's tone with flute-like timbres on soprano saxophone, and is particularly aroused by the rhythmic slang of "The Invisible." And in a fitting nod to an old master, he and Cherry find inspiration aplenty on Monk's "Bemsha Swing.

 Surrealism Details, Meaning Surrealism Article and Explanation Guide
Some artists, such as H.R. Giger in Europe, who won an Academy Award for his stage set, and who also designed the "creature," in the movie Alien, have been popularly called "surrealists," though Giger is a visionary artist and does not claim to be surrealist.
Although Breton initially responded rather negatively to the subject of music with his essay "Silence is Golden," later surrealists have been interested in, and found parallels to surrealism in, the improvisation of jazz (as alluded to above), and the blues (surrealists such as Paul Garon have written articles and full-length books on the subject).
Jazz and blues musicians have occasionally reciprocated this interest; for example, the 1976 World Surrealist Exhibition included such performances.
