Don Cherry in The Wire

21-06-13, 10:08

Some boredees might be interested in a fascinating 10-page 'Primer' on trumpeter Don Cherry in the current WIRE magazine(July 2013). Strangely, Brian Morton omits to mention Cherry's band NU who were recorded live by the BBC at the 1986 Bracknell Jazz Festival. Along with Cherry were the vastly underrated altoist Carlos Ward, Mark Helias(bass), Ed Blackwell(drums) & Nana Vasconcelos(percussion).
Exhilarating & passionate music well worth tracking down.

i saw NU in leicester and Aberdeen that year amazing both times .... and a sad contrast to a later gig in Camden Town where Cherry appeared to be ailing ...

According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.
