Our Take

Don Cherry’s latest album, “Where Is Brooklyn?” is a whimsical journey through the eclectic sounds of the borough that never sleeps. From the jazzy saxophone riffs to the funky bass lines, Cherry takes listeners on a musical tour of Brooklyn that is as unpredictable as a New York City subway ride.

The album opens with the infectious groove of “Brooklyn Bound,” a track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Cherry’s trumpet playing is as smooth as silk, weaving in and out of the funky rhythms like a master storyteller spinning a tale.

Tracks like “Brownstone Blues” and “Coney Island Boogie” showcase Cherry’s versatility as a musician, blending elements of jazz, funk, and soul into a delicious musical stew. Each song feels like a love letter to a different corner of Brooklyn, capturing the essence of the borough in all its diverse glory.

But it’s not all smooth sailing on “Where Is Brooklyn?” Cherry throws a curveball with the avant-garde sounds of “Gowanus Groove,” a cacophonous exploration of sound that will leave you scratching your head in confusion. It’s a risky move, but one that pays off in the end, adding a touch of intrigue to an otherwise groovy album.

Overall, “Where Is Brooklyn?” is a delightful romp through the streets of the Big Apple, filled with surprises at every turn. Don Cherry proves once again why he is a master of his craft, delivering an album that is as quirky and charming as the borough that inspired it. Grab a slice of pizza, hop on the L train, and let Cherry take you on a musical adventure you won’t soon forget.
