Mu. Second Part

“Mu” Second Part
DON CHERRY
"Mu" Second Part marks the continuation of an extraordinary day of recording in 1969 Paris with Don Cherry and drummer Ed Blackwell, capturing their exploration into the depths of free jazz. This album showcases Cherry's exceptional range, playing Indian and bamboo flutes, piano, bells, and his signature pocket trumpet.

Recorded on the same day as "Mu" First Part, this session reflects Cherry's global musical influences and his seamless integration of various cultural sounds into the free jazz framework. The improvisation is coupled with references to notable musicians such as Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) and Albert "Tootie" Heath, producing tracks that are as unpredictable as they are compelling.
