Our Take

John Coltrane and Don Cherry join forces on "The Avant-Garde," a mind-bending journey through the outer reaches of jazz. Coltrane, known for his innovative saxophone playing, and Cherry, the master of the pocket trumpet, weave a captivating tapestry of sounds on this avant-garde masterpiece.

From the frenetic energy of "Cherryco" to the haunting beauty of "The Invisible," this album takes listeners on a sonic rollercoaster ride that defies conventional musical boundaries. Coltrane's relentless exploration of abstract melodies and Cherry's unique approach to harmonics create a musical landscape that is as daring as it is mesmerising.

The interplay between Coltrane and Cherry is nothing short of magical, with each musician pushing the other to new heights of creativity. Their improvisational skills are on full display here, as they effortlessly navigate through complex time signatures and unpredictable harmonies with ease.

Fans of experimental jazz will find much to love in "The Avant-Garde," as Coltrane and Cherry deliver a truly boundary-pushing listening experience. This album is a testament to the power of musical innovation and a reminder of the limitless possibilities of the genre.

In conclusion, "The Avant-Garde" is a bold and exciting collaboration between two jazz legends. Coltrane and Cherry's fearless approach to music-making is sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners, making this album a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons.
