After an extensive technical sound restoration using 24-bit digital remastering, the label Intuition is now releasing ACTIONS on 180g vinyl
At last, a memorable and listenable meeting between jazz and new music returns.
At the 1971 Donaueschingen Music Festival, which has become a pioneering meeting not only for new music ever since, Don Cherry and Krzysztof Penderecki performed together with the illustrious personnel of the New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra in a concert that continues to be memorable and well worth a listen. The concert recording was released as a vinyl album by the WERGO label and has been unavailable for many years.
After an extensive technical sound restoration using 24-bit digital remastering, Intuition is now releasing ACTIONS on 180g vinyl.
[from the liner notes:] During the four days prior to the concert in Donaueschingen, Cherry and the other musicians rehearsed 15 themes, of which seven were performed in the concert. Nothing was written down, nor was the order of themes defined. Cherry (or occasionally the Dutch singer Loes Mcgillycutty) led into each subsequent theme, and the musicians simply joined in as soon as they recognised them. Therefore, hesitant beginnings and lead-ins are all part of the 'Humus' concept.
The orchestra for Donaueschingen was gathered together from some of the most renowned musicians on the international jazz scene, including artists from the USA, England, Germany, Holland, Norway and Poland, and gradually developed between 1966 and 1970, gathering experience from experimental projects and performances at the Baden-Baden Free Jazz Meetings. All of it is derived from the two versions of Alexander von Schlippenbach's Globe Unity in Berlin in 1966 and Donaueschingen in 1967, as well as Cherry's own Eternal Rhythm during the Berlin Jazz Festival of 1968. As Cherry commented, 'It all started in Berlin. The Balinese Gamelan percussion which we used there opened everything up. That's why we called the orchestra 'The New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra'.'
