it wasn’t until i began looking into this that i realized it had been shared not only on dime but also on inconstant sol (which you should look at if unfamiliar with), but doesn’t seem to have been available for a while (?). which is a shame because it really is such a phenomenal show. so here it is, yet again! inconstant sol had a nice commentary on this, btw.
i also found that it’s available (as a bootleg, as far as i can tell) on a japanese site, where someone added
although it is an album named don cherry, it is an old & new dreams mentz formed under the gate of ornet coleman when he saw personel?i also play natural day tunes?overall, it’s a great performance, but the white eyebrows are drums’ ed blackwell’s play?you can listen to drumming like a japanese child, and it feels irresistible?blackwell himself seems to have heard of japanese ? children?this play convinced him to be the unmistakable and unique jazz giant?i listened to blackwell’s play a lot, but i wonder if it’s the best take to play here?
thanks, machine translation! and may we always listen to drumming like a japanese child.
in my high school’s artroom above the blackboard, in the mid/late 1970s, someone (i think we can figure out who) had written “bob doyle says more grateful dead!”). words to live by, certainly, and in that same vein: more don cherry!
