“The music demonstrates Cherry's aspiration for a universal language through music, incorporating many ideas and rhythms, all integrated in one joyous and communal interaction.”
We make a big musical jump, even if the time of the "Summer House Sessions" is only three years later in 1968, and the band a group of Swedish musicians, with a Frenchman, an American and a Turk to complete the ensemble: Bernt Rosengren on tenor saxophone, flutes, clarinet, Tommy Koverhult on tenor saxophone, flutes, Leif Wennerström and Jacques Thollot on drums, Torbjörn Hultcrantz and Kent Carter on bass, and Bülent Ateş on hand drum, drums.
The album is a recording made with musicians for whom Cherry organised workshops in the months before. They put their learnings into practice in these long improvisations. The music demonstrates Cherry's aspiration for a universal language through music, incorporating many ideas and rhythms, all integrated in one joyous and communal interaction.
