Album Review: DON CHERRY - Mu. First Part

Legendary jazz trumpeter Don Cherry delivers a sonic journey through uncharted territories on his latest album "Mu. First Part." With a career spanning decades, Cherry proves once again why he deserves a spot among the greats in the jazz world.

The album opens with the mesmerizing track "Cherry Jam," a funky and infectious tune that sets the tone for what's to come. Cherry's signature trumpet sound is as vibrant as ever, weaving in and out of complex rhythms and melodies with ease.

Tracks like "African Fantasy" and "Orient" showcase Cherry's mastery of blending traditional jazz elements with world music influences, creating a truly unique and captivating listening experience. His collaboration with the innovative drummer Ed Blackwell shines through on tracks like "Universal Mother," where the duo's chemistry is palpable.

But it's not all serious business on "Mu. First Part." Cherry proves he's not afraid to have some fun with tracks like "Dada Son," a whimsical and playful tune that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.

Overall, "Mu. First Part" is a testament to Don Cherry's enduring talent and creativity. With its adventurous spirit and infectious energy, this album is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and music lovers alike.
