Don Cherry & The New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki

This recording documents a live performance at the Donaueschingen Music Festival
in 1971, but the co-crediting is somewhat misleading. While the New Eternal
Rhythm Orchestra (named for Cherry's magnificent album from a few years prior,
Eternal Rhythm) appears throughout, the first two pieces are by Cherry, the last
by Penderecki. The two "principals" don't actually come into contact with each
other. The orchestra is truly an all-star cast of the cream of European
improvisers, each and every one having gone on to significant achievements.
Cherry's "Humus - The Life Exploring Force" is a suite not too dissimilar to
those he performed on both Eternal Rhythm and the ensuing Relativity Suite
(including an early version of "Desireless"), ranging from raga-inspired lines
to bluesy refrains, to jaunty modal riffs. If the performance is a little on the
ragged side and if vocalist Loes Macgillycutty proves somewhat overbearing, it
more than makes up for it in enthusiasm and joy. This is followed by a brief
encore in which Cherry gets the audience to sing along on a complex (for
Westerners) Indian scale; it's quite enchanting before exploding into a short,
orchestral free-for-all. Penderecki's "Actions for Free Jazz Orchestra" is
another kettle of fish entirely. The composer had often used jazz elements in
his previous works, though always sublimated to his overall classical (if
avant-garde) direction. Here, he makes a good attempt to meet this "foreign"
genre halfway, allowing the orchestra much latitude for improvisation while
supplying dark and brooding borders to keep things corralled. The problem is,
that's basically all there is to the piece: alternating written parts (fine in
and of themselves) and free improv (also energetically performed) with little to
conceptually bind them. It's not a bad performance by any means, and is of some
degree of historical import if only to document a relatively rare meeting of the
jazz and classical avant-garde, but it doesn't quite hold together as a solid
work. Fans of Cherry, though, will definitely want to own this disc as a
significant addition to his stellar work of the late '60s and early '70s.~Brian
