Actions is a live album featuring debut performances of works by composer Krzysztof Penderecki and trumpeter and composer Don Cherry. It was recorded on October 17, 1971, at the Donaueschingen Festival in Donaueschingen, Germany, and was released on LP later that year by Philips. The music was performed by an ensemble called The New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra, composed of top European improvisors. In 2020, the album was reissued and Remastered for Record Store Day in Red Vinyl Germany. In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote: "The orchestra is truly an all-star cast of the cream of European improvisers, each and every one having gone on to significant achievements." He compared "Humus" to Cherry's Eternal Rhythm and Relativity Suite, and praised its "enthusiasm and joy," but noted that Penderecki's "Actions" "doesn't quite hold together as a solid work," although he notes that it is "of some degree of historical import." He concluded: "Fans of Cherry... will definitely want to own this disc as a significant addition to his stellar work of the late '60s and early '70s
