"Landmark transitional world-fusion live recording ... Originally broadcast on French TV in 1972, this inaugural Organic Music Theatre performance at Chateuvallon Festival de Jazz finds Cherry in transition from the free rhythmic chaos of 1970's "Mu" to the unbounded world music drift of "Organic Music Society". On-stage with multi-instrumentalists Christer Bothén, Doudou Gouirand and Nana Vasconcelos swapping horns for berimbau and Malian guitars, Cherry abandons trumpet for piano and vocals for an ethereal collection of religious chants, ceremonial hymns, plus a gorgeously untethered cover of Jim Pepper's "Witchi-Tai-To", all interspersed with the cries of children and wild glossolalia from an on-stage puppet troupe (!). It is the sound of deep communion and mystical contemplation, an exhortation to total spiritual surrender that is difficult to resist".
