Don Cherry & Lee Gato Barbieri
Togetherness
Free Bird (France) 1978
FLY 01 (LP) Oneside coated sleeve.
sleeve : VG+(wear on corner, dirts.)
media : EX/EX(some slightly noise.)
An album released in 1965 featuring a remarkable collaboration between Don Cherry — the master of ethnic jazz who, after meeting Ornette Coleman in late-1950s Los Angeles, pursued new forms of jazz, later moved to New York to become one of the key figures of the avant-garde scene, and eventually relocated to Europe at the end of the ’60s to create cosmopolitan music inspired by his travels through the Third World — and Gato Barbieri, the Argentine tenor saxophonist who debuted in the 1960s and went on to produce a series of spiritually charged, progressive Latin jazz works. The quintet also includes Carlhans Berger (vib), J.F. Jenny Clark (b), and Aldo Romano (ds). All compositions are written by Cherry, offering a glimpse into his early phase of blurring the boundaries between post-bop and free jazz. While the rhythm section and certain phrasing retain a strong bop sensibility, the breaks and looseness clearly reflect the influence of Coleman’s innovations. The sheer energy unleashed in the improvisations between Cherry and Barbieri is extraordinary. This is the 1978 French pressing.
