Don Cherry – Organic Music Society
Out of stock
$30.00
The sessions that comprise Organic Music Society are varied and
represent several directions in Cherry’s oeuvre. Only two tracks
(‘Elixir’ and ‘Relativity Suite’) were recorded in a studio setting;
the rest of the music was made live, in wildly divergent circumstances.
Along with various top-notch Swedish players – Bengt
Berger, Christer Bothén, Tommy Koverhult – the accomplices
include Turkish percussionist Okay Temiz and an early appearance
by the Brazilian berimbau specialist Naná Vasconcelos. Cherry
himself performs on pocket cornet, but also on voice, harmonium,
flute, conch shell, and piano. Compositions include some familiar
material, such as ‘Relativity Suite’ and Pharoah Sanders’ classic
‘The Creator Has a Master Plan,’ and fascinating material from
Dollar Brand (‘Bra Joe from Kilimanjaro’) and even the worldminimalist
composer Terry Riley (‘Terry’s Tune’). Some tracks are
long, loose, and meditative (‘North Brazilian Ceremonial Hymn’),
while others are taut and bracing; on one track, a 50-piece string
orchestra accompanies the band. Across the board, on Organic
Music Society we find Cherry’s intense interest in multicultural
sounds, in the intersections of improvisation and folk music, and
the expansion of jazz into a melting pot of sonic experience.
