Brown Rice

Description

Out of print in the U.S. for more than four decades, Don Cherrysmeditative, inventive outsider jazz classic, Brown Rice, is available on vinyl once again as of today via Verve/UMe. The Corrado Baccheli-produced album is pressed on standard weight black vinyl and housed in a replica sleeve with original liner notes from acclaimed jazz critic Stanley Crouch.

Brown Rice contains the apogee of Cherrys influences: African, Indian, Arabic and American music are all thrown into the same psychedelic stew. This inventive combinative MO was a resting state for Cherry. Taught at the feet of avant-garde saxophonist Ornette Coleman, the trumpeter accelerated quickly into the unknown.
