About this product

One of the towering figures of American music, Cherry was part of the revolutionary free-bop quartet led by Coleman, an ensemble that helped shift the conversation about jazz from chord changes and swing to freedom and energy. By the late '60s, the pocket-cornet player was living in Sweden, with his wife Karlsson, playing with Swedish musicians from all backgrounds, seeking out exciting partners in a somewhat hippie-like atmosphere. It was in this milieu, in the summers of '71 and '72 that Cherry recorded the tracks for his legendary double LP, 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.

Don Cherry - Om Shanti Om   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Archive . An amazing document of the life experiment that was the Organic Music Society. This super quality audio, recorded by RAI (the Italian public broadcasting company) in 1976 for television, documents a quartet concert focused on vocals compositions and improvisations. Here, Don Cherry and his family-community's musical belief emerges in it's simplicity, with the desire to merge the knowledge and stimuli gained during numerous travels across the World in a single sound experience. Don's pocket-trumpet is melted with the beats of the great Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos, the Italian guitar of Gian Piero Pramaggiore, and the tanpura drone of Moki. A pure hippie aesthetic, like in an intimate ceremony, filters a magical encounter between Eastern and Western civiliziations, offering different suggestions of sound mysticism natural acoustics in which individual instruments and voices are part of a wider pan-tribal consciousness. A desert Western landscape marries Asian and Latin atmospheres. Indigenous contributions with berimbau explorations find fossil sounds of rattles and clap-hands invocations. Influences of Indian mantra singing are combined with eternal African voices or with folkish-Latin guitar rhythms, while flute and drums evoke distant dances. In the Organic Music everything becomes an act of devotion and love, an ecstatic dwell in the dimension of a sacred free-rejoice.

Various Artists - Anthologie Sonore    - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Frémeaux & Associés presents the voices of 20 great French philosophers who embrace all currents of thought of the 20th century; existentialism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, religion, epistemology and morality. Each intervention of the philosopher is preceded by a commentary on his life, his work and his thought. Frédéric Worms wrote for InchLes Études PhilosophiquesInch (PUF) that this sum of recordings constituted Inchthe major contribution of sound archives to French intellectual heritageInch and the philosopher adds that the discs of this anthology should be in everyone's library. Reader of 20th century philosophy in France. (...) and to hope Inchthat the media, far from denying it, thus reconcile the thinking word, through individuals and works! Of this too we have, in these discs, a remarkable anthology. This book is the official commented version of the sound anthology of French thought.

GRACE VANDERWAAL - Childstar   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

GRACE VANDERWAAL is redefining what it means to grow and evolve past the things that can hold you back on her new album Childstar. The pop singer made her mark in music at the age of 12 by winning the 11th season of the NBC show America's Got Talent in 2016, but Childstar sees her reinventing her sound with inspiration from the indie artists and projects that she loves, such as InchMelodramaInch by Lorde, Girl in Red, and Suki Waterhouse.
