The Santa Barbara Independent- Josef Woodard
to see his blithe, restless spirit in action- always searching for essential innocence and freedom- is something to behold

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning live concert from free-jazz master Don Cherry!, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

After helping Ornette Coleman give birth to Free Jazz, trumpeter Don Cherry became a pivotal composer/theorist and an invigorating, experimental World Music improviser. This joyful encounter, taken from the Days of Jazz Festival in Stuttgart, Germany, finds Cherry and friends weaving a shimmering, polyphonic musical tapestry that includes his originals and Monk's "Bemsha Swing." Features Peter Apfelbaum, Bo Freeman and Joshua Jones.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent dvd, January 28, 2009

By	gilz37 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Multikulti (DVD)

an excellent dvd . cherrys presence adds such a free and fun quality to any band he has played with and this aspect stands out . ive always enjoyed his voice but the dvd brought to front what a great vocal storyteller he is . its amazing how freely , the band "weaves", (as other review mentions), in and out of jams, tune changes and stop and start themes . extremely organic . the electric bass and drummer have a great crunchy rolling funk thing going mixed with jazz swing. the way they work together kind of reminds me of the moroccan fusion band "zahar" . sax/pianist aplfelbaum plays several instruments all well . his piano intro to ""when the rain comes" is outstanding. his compositions "walk to the mountain" and "when the rain comes" are excellent . they sound much like cherry compositions . definitely recommend .
