Don Cherry - The Five Spot, New York City, June 7, 1975

The Sandy Bull doc I shared with y'all a few weeks ago shared some sweet glimpses of Sandy's wedding — and apparently Don Cherry officiated? That is one cool wedding. The pics reminded me that I had heard tell of (but never heard) a live tape of Don and Sandy recorded sometime in the mid 70s. And lo & behold, the great Observations of Deviance had posted a snippet of it last year! Not only that, but OoD had linked over to the Deep Focus podcast, who not only had played the entire tape, but they'd also gotten that night's bassist, the legendary William Parker, to listen in and offer his valuable insights. Sometimes the world is ... good? I know, I can barely believe it either.

Anyhoo, what we've got here is a fairly lo-fi AUD, but nevertheless ... an amazing snapshot! The band is remarkable — not just Parker, Bull and Cherry, but also Frank Lowe, Selene Fung, Hakim Jami, Ed Blackwell and Roger Blank. It's typically eclectic stuff, positive vibrations all around, a true fusion of modes and moods, Cherry moving joyously from keys to trumpet to vocals. Occasionally, it's a mess! But it's a mess you're gonna love.

"Groove after groove after groove," Parker marvels, nearly 50 years later. Cook up some brown rice and get into it.

William Parker: There’s always someone bringing a tape recorder and sitting in the audience recording. I mean, they did it with Charlie Parker and John Coltrane and any musician that plays in a jazz club. There were people who came and they taped whether they had the tape recorder, you know, underneath their sleeve, hiding in their pants, the mics coming out of their hats, you know, all kinds of things. Because once you begin to listen to this music, you become obsessed with it. It really becomes a lifeline. The people that taped weren’t necessarily trying to start a record company, but they're taping it because it's really feeding them, and it keeps them balanced.

A night view from the Queens side of the Queensborough Bridge, January 12, 1951. It shows the new United Nations Building (rectangular structure, left). The tall buildings from the center of picture to the right are the Daily News building with its television tower, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building (with the needle-sharp spire).

In the foreground is what was then called Welfare (now Roosevelt) Island. In the early 20th century, when it was called Blackwell's Island, it housed prisons, almshouses, and a lunatic asylum. In 1921 it was renamed Welfare Island and in 1934 the old institutions were replaced by city hospitals. Today, as Roosevelt Island, it contains moderate-income housing and shopping complexes.

The angle of vision leads to some confusion. The Empire State Building is actually not between the Daily News and Chrysler Building. It is at 34th Street. The U.N., Daily News, and Chrysler Buildings are all along 42nd Street. The view is along a diagonal line which accounts for the distortion.

Old and New Dreams - The Earth Tavern, Portland, Oregon, April 16, 1979

The Earth Tavern in Portland, OR! The place to be if you were in the PNW in the late 1970s, it seems. You could see this unbelievable Television show ... you could see the Ramones ... you could see a very early Dead Kennedys gig ... or you could catch the magnificent Old and New Dreams, playing a beautiful set of harmolodic reveries. This tape, via the tireless Vintage Music Experience, boasts a very Charlie Haden-forward mix — drummer Ed Blackwell is a little bit distant. But it's a very worthwhile listen, like having your ear pressed up against Haden's amp. A privileged spot — especially when Haden rumbles into that iconic "Lonely Woman" intro. Dreamtime ...

So I was reading @liathgray ‘s Blackwell Springs and decided ti make a drawing for it. Alternative versions of the drawing under the cut.

The Ed goes squish.

A lighter version of the Ed going squish.

Aaand a lighter version of the whole thing, 'cause why not.

I wasn’t sure which blog to post this on, so I'm doing it on the Eldritch!Edward one per it being FMA centric.
