5.0 out of 5 stars Free Jazz Meets World Music, January 18, 2004
By A Customer
Eternal Rhythm is to world music what On the Corner is to fusion. In other words, its a mind blowing experience that redefines the genre. Every instrument from gamelan to flute to yup that's Sonny Sharrock on guitar is explored here. If you are looking for peaceful world music look elsewhere. However, if you are in the mood for a challenging listen that will take you to other places and redefine what jazz means to you get ready. This is by far Don Cherry's best album. The reissue was well worth the wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, October 13, 2009
Don Cherry helped create free jazz and then transended it. After Coltrane died in 1967, the air went out of the baloon. Ornette Coleman moved, slowly, to a funk avant jazz, and Archie Shepp moved, masterfully, all over the map.

Many musicians went to Europe to work with new musicans, unable to find work in America. Don Cherry was one of them, and recorded Enternal Rhythm in 1969.

This album has no propulsion, and good for Cherry. It features trumpet and guitar and light percussion. This is really not about playing "inside or outside" the changes. The music-two long peices-is otherworldly, floating above the chimes and bells that create its bottom, which shimmer in the atmosphere. What matters is appreciating the sounds made in the musical greenhouse these musicans create.

At first the title seems ironic, but think further, and that is the point: This rhythm is implied. You can't tap your foot to it, but these musicans are such masters, their sounds create the pulse if not the beat. This is almost ambient music with no electronics, though it does have more weight and texture than most ambient music.

But what counts is the excellent playing and atmosphereic beauty of the music. That is impossible to discribe but would be a crime to miss.
