Don Cherry - Brown Rice (1975)

One of Cherry's strongest records from the 70's -- originally called Don Cherry, and released on A&M. The record's an album that takes the tripped-out spacey jazz sound he was working on, and adds some nice electric moments, with occasional slight touches of funkiness, and comes up with a cool vibe and a tightness that only adds more to his great playing. Ricky Cherry plays electric and acoustic piano, and Frank Lowe's on tenor. Tracks include "Brown Rice", "Malkauns", and "Chenrezig". The record's tough to find, and this CD's about the only way we see it these days!
