Our Take

In the mystical realm of avant-garde jazz, there are few who can match the otherworldly prowess of Terry Riley and Don Cherry. Their 1975 performance at WDR Radio in Koln was a transcendent experience that defied both time and space.

From the moment the first notes of their improvised collaboration filled the room, it was clear that this was no ordinary jazz performance. Riley's hypnotic loops and Cherry's soaring trumpet melodies wove together in a cosmic dance, creating a sonic tapestry that was as hypnotic as it was kaleidoscopic.

The grooves were infectious, the rhythms were intoxicating, and the energy in the room was electric. It was as if Riley and Cherry were channeling some higher power through their music, transporting the audience to a higher plane of existence.

But what truly set this performance apart was the undeniable chemistry between the two musicians. Their musical dialogue was so fluid, so intuitive, that it seemed as though they were communicating on a telepathic level. It was a joy to witness such masterful musicians at the peak of their powers, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in the realm of jazz.

In conclusion, Terry Riley and Don Cherry's performance at WDR Radio in Koln on February 23, 1975 was a transcendent experience that will be remembered for years to come. If you're a fan of experimental jazz, this album is an absolute must-listen.
