Don Cherry - North Brazilian Ceremonial Hymn Organic Music Society, 1972, Caprice Records, Sweden (Jazz, Folk, Don Cherry aka Donald Eugene Cherry (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA Malaga aka 1x.

Organic Music Society isn't an album for those craving stylistic consistency, travelling all over the musical map. That's not surprising from Cherry though, a relentlessly adventurous artist who did a great deal to bring world music elements into jazz. Through the '70s, he explored Indian, African and Middle Eastern music, and that's audible here. The album was recorded primarily with Scandinavian musicians, though Brazilian percussion star Nana Vasconcelos makes an appearance. Cherry contributes on piano, harmonium and flute, as well as trumpet, and his openhearted vocals.

Don Cherry spent the summer of 1971 teaching at a youth music camp normally devoted to the study of classical music. The fifty-odd piece band lays down Brand’s swinging bass line and Riley’s melancholy melody while Cherry (on trumpet and piano) and drummer Okay Temiz unleash some serious free jazz squalls. It was in this milieu, in the summers of 1971 and 1972, that Cherry recorded the tracks for his legendary double album, Organic Music Society, which was released on Caprice and is now reissued for the first time on CD. The sessions that comprise Organic Music Society are varied and represent several directions in Cherry’s oeuvre.

It features Coltrane playing several compositions by Ornette Coleman accompanied by the members of Coleman's quartet: Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Ed Blackwell. The album was assembled from two unissued recording sessions at Atlantic Studios in New York City in 1960.
