Don Cherry – Don Cherry (self titled – AKA Brown Rice)

Don Cherry (self titled) AKA Brown Rice

Vinyl LP

If you’re not familiar with Don Cherry, listen to this as soon as you’re able, and let it change your life.

The album is a Jazz Fusion record, with African, Indian, and Arabic influences and sounds.

The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4½ stars stating “Brown Rice is the most accessible entry point into Cherry’s borderless ideal, jelling into a personal, unique, and seamless vision that’s at once primitive and futuristic in the best possible senses of both words. While Cherry would record a great deal of fine work in the years to come, he would never quite reach this level of wild invention again”.
