Don CherryThe Summer House SessionsBack to the record
Jazz Magazine

“Car ces “Summer House Sessions” (magnifiquement) enregistrées par l’ingénieur du son Göran Freese n’ont absolument rien perdu de leur force libertaire, de leur inspiration rieuse et de leur invention mélodique.”

Fred Goaty

INÉDIT Pas moins inespérée que le concert inédit du Quartet de John Coltrane, voici une formidable bande studio qui dormait depuis juillet 1968 dans les archives du Centre For Swedish Folk Music And Jazz Research.

The Quietus

“Most radical (and most indicative of Don’s nascent intentions) is the insistence that the music be communal and solo-free.”

Uncut

“These 1968 sessions are looser, aesthetically pan-global, embracing a nascent spirituality alongside a cartwheeling energy.”

Jazz Journal

“Capturing brilliant and organic improvisation, The Summer House Sessions offers a fascinating glimpse into Cherry’s world of musical research and experimentation.”

Point of Departure

“Ultimately this is a record of people at play.”

Free Jazz Blog

“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.”

Dusted

“It’s like a looser version of the music Cherry made for Blue Note in the 1960s, free and joyous, but the references to Anatolian folk music point it towards the music he would do with Okay Temiz and Johnny Dyani.”
