Our Take

Jon Appleton and Don Cherry’s collaboration on “Human Music” is a glorious cacophony of sound, an avant-garde masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of what music can be. Cherry’s jazz expertise combined with Appleton’s electronic wizardry results in a sonic journey like no other.

Opening track “Butterfly Dreams” sets the tone with Cherry’s soulful trumpet blaring over Appleton’s experimental synth beats. The result is a mesmerising blend of jazz and electronic music that will leave you both bewildered and enchanted.

“Ode to a Happy Day” takes a more contemplative turn, with Cherry’s haunting vocals creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports you to another dimension. Appleton’s intricate production weaves in and out, creating a hypnotic groove that you can’t help but get lost in.

But it’s on tracks like “Dance of the Ageless” where the duo truly shines, blending Cherry’s improvisational genius with Appleton’s intricate production to create a mind-bending experience that will leave you questioning the limits of human creativity.

In conclusion, “Human Music” is a bold statement from two musical legends at the top of their game. They have created an album that defies categorisation, blending genres and styles in a way that only true musical pioneers can. An absolute must-listen for anyone with an adventurous ear and an open mind.
