Description:

Always an independent spirit, Cherry brought his openness and burgeoning knowledge of traditional music from around the world to bear on the bold new music. By the late 1960s, the pocket-cornet player was living in Sweden, with his wife Moki Karlsson, playing with Swedish musicians from all backgrounds, seeking out exiting partners in a somewhat hippie-like atmosphere. It was in this milieu, in the summers of 1971 and 1972 that Cherry recorded the tracks for his legendary double LP, Organic Music Society. Only two tracks (â??Elixirâ? and â??Relativity Suiteâ?) were recorded in a studio setting; the rest of the music was made live, in wildly divergent circumstances. Along with various top-notch Swedish players â??Bengt Berger, Christer BothÃ©n, and Tommy Koverhult â??The accomplices include Turkish percussionist Okay Temiz and an early appearance by the Brazilian berimbau specialist NanÃ¡ Vasconcelos. -

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.
