Don Cherry / Krzysztof Penerecki - The New Rythm Orchestra - Actions (1971)


Wow! I had no idea that there was even such an album...featuring Don Cherry, Tomasz Stanko, Albert Mangelsdorff, Peter Brotzman, Han Bennink, Terje Rypdal, Kenny Wheeler, Willem Breuker & Gunter Hampel and if you don't know who they are...well!
...and while you are there, do check out some of the other offerings. This is a really superb blog.

    Most of the blog list on my pages are pretty damn fine (IMHO), glad you found Zamboni tho. Just got the message you left there. Did NOT know about this album and I am BIG fan of both Cherry and Penderecki, but I can't get the file to d/load, dammit! I see he has #5 too which I put upmyself back at the beginning of this blog tho I think that the file has expired, but grab it. It is truly superb. Him and Arvo Part wld be my 2 fave 'classical' composers.
    Regards/

    I bought that as a vinyl way back in 71 or 72 or so (one of my first albums ever), when I was very, very young, has been one of my favourite Jazz albums for years (mainly for the Cherry a-side, although the Penderecki part is also quite nice).
    Glad you liked it also.

    Just crossed my mind, I listened to the Penderecki part when I came down from my first LSD trip, those were the days, wasn't that Terje Rypdal on guitar there?

    ...and the Cherry part main theme was used in the incredible K&D Sessions album, also used in the recent K&D radio mix which I recently posted linking to... Das Kraftfuttermischwerk...

    ...just to get the two comment strings together...

    I cant get it to download either, goes most of the way and dies. Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima is awesome... was one of my secret sample weapons in my post Slab work.... and I'd go for Part and Penderecki too in terms of composers... perhaps with a little Ligetti thrown in for fun....

    It finally did work for me on the fourth attempt! Ligetti is a blind spot for me, any suggestions as to where I should atart?

    Jesus was there *anybody* interesting in the music world that Don Cherry didn't collaborate with between 1965-1975 or so? The guy was just incredible. Coltrane, Penderecki, Terry Riley, Pran Nath, etc., etc. - Don Cherry was like the epicenter of the development of contemporary western music -
