Trumpeter Don Cherry: Art Deco.

from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a fine album which harkens back to Don Cherry's early days leading a band called "The Jazz Messiahs" which existed in 1956/57 but sadly never recorded. This album done in August of 1988 is kind of a recreation of the Messiah's music and sound. It is much more traditional than many of Cherry's recordings. The band is Don Cherry on trumpet, James Clay on tenor saxophone, Charlie Haden on bass (replacing the original bassist Don Payne) and Billy Higgins on drums. 3 Ornette Coleman tunes are featured and one by Thelonious Monk, two by Don Cherry and two ballad features for James Clay (minus Cherry). The album called "Art Deco" is a wonderful experience and everyone is in top form. That's tonight's Jazz Feature.
