DON CHERRY "THIS IS NOT MY MUSIC" (SWEDEN, 1978)

Here's a Swedish TV documentary about Don Cherry. Filmed for the most part in the US and on the island Cherry was living with his family during the 1970s.

With Rashied Ali, James Blood Ulmer, Nana Vasconcelos, Denis Charles, Huss Charles a.o.
Especially the music by Cherry, Ali and Ulmer is great IMO. Sadly it seems there's no other recorded evidence of this trio.


 Produced and directed by Urban Lasson

ORNETTE COLEMAN QUARTET - VALENZA 1974 (PRIVATE LABEL)

This tour with James Blood Ulmer is from a transitional period between the acoustic groups and the electrified bands of Tales Of Captain Black and Prime Time.

There are videos from the Rome concert on Youtube.

An LP release from the Padua concert on the tour suffered from the guitar being poorly audible.

A concert recording from Keystone Corner, San Francisco in September 1974, has also been circulating, with David Williams replacing Sirone and playing both acoustic and electric bass.

However, this is my favourite from the year.
