PM> Hi there jazz-funkmeisters,
PM> Can anybody out there recommend some of Don Cherry's best albums to
PM> me? I really like his track on the other-wise bewildering 'Jazz
PM> Satallite's' compilation on Virgin Records, 'Brown Rice' I believe it

that's from an album called "brown rice". believe it or not, that tune was
covered by shadowfax (a windham hill band originally). there's an album by
him called "hear & now" (i think--i'm up too early today and the record's
across town). on the cover he's sitting cross-legged in front of some sort
of tapestry. there's some interesting groove stuff on there... it was issued
by atlantic.

PM> was called. Didn't his background include a stint with Ornette
PM> Coleman?? Peace,

he was ornette's long-time foil in the quartet. "free jazz", "change of the
century" etc...

PM> ps I've pretty much given up on the Nicolette album question, but what
PM> about peoples opinions on the 'new' Talkin' Loud???

what do you mean by the "new" talkin' loud? new release, or new direction,
etc.?
