DON CHERRY LP Relativity Suite (Clear Coloured Vinyl)

Strictly limited to 300 copies. Clear Vinyl · A reissue of Don Cherry's Relatively Suite, originally released in 1973. Finally, available again on vinyl. Recorded with the Jazz Composer's Orchestra. At this time, Cherry was becoming increasingly interested in Middle Eastern and traditional African and Indian music, having traveled extensively and studied with Indian musician, Vasant Rai. This suite of songs was particularly influenced by the Indian Carnatic singing tradition, as can be heard from the very opening moments of the album. Featuring Carla Bley on piano, Charlie Haden on bass, and Ed Blackwell on drums, as well as an extended horn and string section, Cherry collaborated extensively with the Jazz Composer's Orchestra throughout the early '70s. · PERSONNEL: · Don Cherry - trumpet, vocal · Frank Lowe - tenor sax · Carlos Ward - alto sax · Charlie Haden - bass · Carla Blay - piano · Ed Blackwell - drums · Recorded in New York, February 14, 1973 · SIDE A · 01.
