John Coltrane and Don Cherry

Musical Group

John Coltrane (1926–1967) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Don Cherry (1936–1995) was an American jazz trumpeter.

They collaborated on the album 'The Avant-Garde' (recorded summer 1960 according to the review) featuring Don Cherry alongside members of Ornette Coleman's quartet (Charlie Haden, Ed Blackwell); the music is described as avant-garde/free jazz connected to the New Thing.

The available review examines the 1960 sessions collected as The Avant-Garde, emphasizing disharmonies, melodic asymmetries and noise elements. It highlights the meeting of Coltrane's recognizable voice with Don Cherry's exploratory playing. The review frames the music within the New Thing / Ornette Coleman lineage.

For:Listeners of avant-garde/free jazz and fans of John Coltrane and Don Cherry.

The hallmark is negation (and dizziness): disharmonies, melodic asymmetries, nocturnal arrhythmias & fragments of sharp, splintered phrases with a flair for noise.
