Our Take

Don Cherry's "Mu. First Part / Mu. Second Part" is a mind-bending journey through the experimental realms of jazz. From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. Cherry's signature trumpet playing takes centre stage, dancing effortlessly between chaotic bursts and hauntingly beautiful melodies.

The first part of "Mu" is a whirlwind of sound, with Cherry and his band creating a frenetic energy that is impossible to resist. The saxophones wail, the drums thunder, and the bass grooves in a way that will make your head spin. It's like being caught in a musical tornado, but in the best possible way.

As we move into the second part of "Mu," Cherry takes us on a more introspective journey. The mood shifts dramatically, with a hauntingly beautiful trumpet solo that will send shivers down your spine. The band weaves a tapestry of sound that is intricate and delicate, drawing you in and refusing to let go.

Overall, "Mu. First Part / Mu. Second Part" is a masterpiece of avant-garde jazz. Cherry's vision and creativity shine through in every note, creating a listening experience that is both challenging and rewarding. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, look no further than this album. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
