Our Take

Don Cherry's "Art Deco" is like stumbling into a glittering maze at a carnival, where each turn offers a new surprise. Cherry, known for his boundary-pushing jazz fusion, takes listeners on a sonic journey that is as daring as it is delightful.

From the moment the first track, "Crystal Lattice," kicks in with its infectious groove and hypnotic trumpet lines, you know you're in for a wild ride. Cherry's eclectic influences are on full display here, from the pulsating rhythms of African drumming to the ethereal melodies of Eastern music.

But what truly sets "Art Deco" apart is Cherry's ability to blend these disparate sounds into a cohesive whole. Tracks like "Tangerine Dreams" and "Opal Sky" seamlessly fuse elements of funk, psychedelia, and free jazz, creating a sonic tapestry that is both avant-garde and accessible.

Cherry's trumpet playing is, as always, a revelation. His phrasing is at once lyrical and unpredictable, weaving in and out of the music like a master storyteller. And when he lets loose on tracks like "Sapphire Sea," the result is pure magic.

In a musical landscape that often feels stale and predictable, Don Cherry's "Art Deco" is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that true creativity knows no boundaries, and that sometimes the best music is found in the most unexpected places. So take a chance, dive in, and let Don Cherry guide you through his dazzling world of sound. You won't be disappointed.
