Don Cherry Swedish TV Documentary 1978

[@JazzMessenger1218]

Loved his take on the blues and the train coming down the tracks. Brillant man with a warm soul and a love for nature. We need more musicians like Don. Actually we need more human beings like Don.

My dad, the globetrotter poet, suddenly appearing out of nowhere at 14:06, getting into the rhythm of Mr Cherry in the streets! Great clip!

[@BibiAudiofil2]

wow :) that's amazing ( finding your dad swinging with Don Cherry in the streets ) :D

[@noa17333]

Such an interesting and beautiful documentary! He was truly a pure soul. My grandpa (Bernt Rosengren) was close friends with him and they frequentely collaborated, I see why :)

Me too!

One of the most underrated artists. Great find! 🙏

Wow, seeing baby Neneh and Eagle Eye Cherry

[@jeffdawson2786]

Thank you, European TV, for your many decades of documenting music that would otherwise vanish in the air.

[@SeikiYukimotoSoulbleed]

Thank you very much for sharing very beautiful works. I used to live with Don and played with Don.

[@silverapples75]

35:45 incredible. James 'Blood' Ulmer / Don Cherry / Rashid Ali wow.

[@BibiAudiofil2]

Cherry and Blood have a strong Ornette connection

[@edflynn3281]

I never knew this documentary existed until today. Prior to this, I only heard Don Cherry speak through his horn.

[@BibiAudiofil2]

we all have to thank NRK TV, they have many videos for free access, but you have to dig deep in the archives

[@paolaginelli5277]

BEAUTIFUL !!!! Don was a Genius !!!!

Facts

[@learning2levitatethroughdr685]

I accidentally stumbled upon Don's music while spending the summer on a sailboat researching music with hindi words in it. His music felt like it was the soundtrack of my summer. He has been a huge inspiration too me ever since. I feel like some of the music I write is a spiritual cousin to his music. I hope I meet him in the next life somewhere. 🫶🙏🫶

So much creativity it spills over into linguistic creation with coinages like innoventor, spontenuity, condeminated, each new word expressing so much more than the sum of its parts

The later successes of Neneh (b.1964) and Eagle Eye (b.1968) demonstrate what a 'good enough' (Winnicott) parent Don was. We can see him 'in action' in this documentary.

Cool documentary, I dig the scene towards the end with his percussion ensemble in NYC. I had the privilege seeing him several times including with Ornette, the underrated Old and New Dreams a few times, plus a solo performance in Miami for Tiger Tail Productions solo series in the early '80's. The other players in the solo series were Don Pullen, Muhal Richard Abrams, David Murray, Dave Burrell & more.

Awesome documentary. Never knew Don Cherry lived in Sweden. Why is it so that many black American musicians end up in Sweden? or in Europe in general? Such as Sabu Martinez, Nina Simone, Arthur Conley and others...I guess in general they are treated with more respect than in the USA...

[@MoldeInternational]

Yeah, American musicians got better pay in Europe, also there was less racism to speak of compared to the US. Dexter Gordon for instance lived in Denmark for quite som time and spoke danish fluently.

[@claudiolombene3018]

[@Painting45]

I met Don down in Skåna in the early 80s just one time. He had bought an old school there. I happened to be down there at the time. I knew him as a Trumpet man. I never knew he played African Instuments. At that time I wasn't good enough on percussion to have added something musical. A real cool guy doing his thing. Destiny always has a funny way in how it delivers things into my life. Don came in on Trumpet. Sad I never knew his African Side. So it goes sometimes

I do believe they are :)

[@perryvalton4245]

I see why so many of our people choose to be musicians in that era simply because there won’t many opportunities for black man back than music was arena where you could express yourself.

[@somenothing7914]

yes but, you won't choose or be successful in music or any art if you don't really love it tho, in some aspect. people didn't do art for economic reasons, they did so in spite of them. these guys were artistic geniuses not just people looking for extra income
