Don CHERRY, Latif KHAN - Music Sangam 1978

Don CHERRY, Latif KHAN - Music Sangam 1978
1989 Issue. JP 2009

Jazz

One of the earthiest albums ever from Don Cherry -- a set of duets with tabla player Latif Khan  recorded in Paris in the late 70s, and featuring Cherry in a range of soulful modes! Don doesn't just play his usual trumpet  but keyboards, flute, gong, and other percussion as well  a really incredible blend of instruments that's often overdubbed, so that Cherry's already adding in a few layers of his own sound before Khan comes in with some really rocking work on tablas! The blend of world and jazz influences is perfect  and the album's as much of a treasure as Cherry's equally important Sonet sessions of the 70s. Titles include "Rhythm 58 1/4", "One Dance", "Air Mail", "Untitled", and "Sangam". 
From Dusty Groove.

First time reissue of this forgotten album of Don Cherry. This album was recorded in 1978 in Paris and released only in France in1981. That was the first meeting between Don Cherry and Indian percussionist Latif Khan and the result is an incredible mixture of jazz and Indian music. This unsung album is only known by hardcore fans of Don cherry who considered it as one of his best effort.
