From the same YouTube user who posted yesterday’s Ed Blackwell videos, here’s a totally amazing concert recording of Don Cherry playing in Neuwied, Germany, with Ed Blackwell, Lakshmi Shankar, Colin Wolcott, and Trilok Gurtu, probably from the 1979— Cherry references Margaret Thatcher’s election in some improvised lyrics. You’ll recognize things from El Corazon and Mu, Cherry’s great duo albums with Blackwell, as well as a tune from Playing, by Old & New Dreams— Mopti, a 6/8 tune which I’ve been playing since this 90s.
Much more after the break— there are eight of these total:
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Part 8
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
