Description:

Om Shanti Om is an album by Don Cherry, released in 2020. The album is a jazz LP. -

Vinyl LP pressing. Archive release. An amazing document of the life experiment that was the Organic Music Society. This super quality audio, recorded by RAI (the Italian public broadcasting company) in 1976 for television, documents a quartet concert focused on vocals compositions and improvisations. Here, Don Cherry and his family-community's musical belief emerges in it's simplicity, with the desire to merge the knowledge and stimuli gained during numerous travels across the World in a single sound experience. Don's pocket-trumpet is melted with the beats of the great Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos, the Italian guitar of Gian Piero Pramaggiore, and the tanpura drone of Moki. A pure hippie aesthetic, like in an intimate ceremony, filters a magical encounter between Eastern and Western civiliziations, offering different suggestions of sound mysticism: natural acoustics in which individual instruments and voices are part of a wider pan-tribal consciousness. A desert Western landscape marries Asian and Latin atmospheres. Indigenous contributions with berimbau explorations find fossil sounds of rattles and clap-hands invocations. Influences of Indian mantra singing are combined with eternal African voices or with folkish-Latin guitar rhythms, while flute and drums evoke distant dances. In the Organic Music everything becomes an act of devotion and love, an ecstatic dwell in the dimension of a sacred free-rejoice.

Recorded at RAI studios [Rome, Italy] in 1976 for the television broadcast ?Incontro con Don Cherry? presented by Franco Fayenz. This is a repress of [r15631810], with a revised and corrected rear sleeve, and a new 21 cm x 21 cm, four-page insert. The same photo of a 1975 Organic Music tapestry by Moki Cherry is used again, but new liner notes, dated 2020-09, by the guitar player Gian Piero Pramaggiore are added, as well as three concert photos. Changes and corrections that have been made on the rear sleeve: - Nana has been corrected to Naná, both in track title and credits. - Kora played by Don Cherry has been corrected to Donso N'goni. - Vocal credits have been added for everybody. - Composers credits have been added. Runouts are hand-etched with a combined "TK" (looking a bit like an "R") for the cutting engineer. Includes a Bandcamp digital download code.
