Recorded live in 1966 with Gato Barbieri, Karl Berger, Aldo Romano, Bo Stief. I believe that this material has never been released before. Also included in this set is a new ESP DVD-audio sampler, featuring selections of almost every ESP artist. Over 12 hours of music!
"Don Cherry, more than any other artist in the jazz of his era, pioneered the music’s internationalist nature that has now come to be commonly accepted as an integral part of its character. The individuality of Cherry’s contribution to the history of jazz has often been unfairly obscured by his admittedly important association with the music of Ornette Coleman. While the (pocket) trumpeter’s position as Coleman’s front line partner in the altoist’s first revolutionary quartet was indeed a major one, Cherry’s role as one of the founders of the genre that is known today as “world music” is equally significant."-Russ Musto
