Some words on this issue: CHERRY, DON: “Blue Lake” (TOHO/ BYG – YX-4022) Impeccable top copy seems unplayed. Without a doubt the rarest title in the Don Cherry catalogue since original copies just never surface. Cherry’s global approach and experimentations on Blue Lake depict his nomadic musical-self transitions between pocket trumpet, flutes, piano and chanting. The disc gets underway with tom-tom drum crescendos spilling over Cherry’s Alice Coltrane-like arpeggio runs on piano and humming chants, before segueing dramatically into the frenetic brass playing and Okay Tamiz’s polyrhythmic percussive displays. Wooden sounding drums—as well as gongs, bells, chimes, and "small" instruments also come into the action. The legendary South African bassist Johnny Dyani and percussionist Okay Temiz are seemingly the ideal accompanists for Cherry’s Oriental induced outings. Dyani’s plucked and arco bass get accompanied by a wistful clay flute, wind-like chimes, and sensitive drum tapping, resonates with a certain archaic magic. The second movement is much more rhythmic and borders on an outpouring of emotion. It settles the rhythm into gear with a meditative and melodic humming chant offered to the crowd by Cherry. In all, the disc features masterful improvisational interplay by what would seem greater than a mere threesome; the experience is captured exquisitely. Moreover, this original vinyl copy sound so much fuller than the needle drop bootleg copy Akarma flooded the market with years ago. A joy to hear this disc the way it is supposed to be heard. This baby is mint all the way and copies complete with OBI just never turns up these days.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.
