Organic Nation Listening Club : The continual

"David Ornette Cherry is not a virtuoso, but more of a conceptualist, multi-tasking on piano, thumb harp, Malian ngoni and wooden flute at the centre of a "fourth world" ensemble. There are electronic grooves overlaid with spiritual poetry; there are largely ambient pieces ("Najour" is a duet for birdsong and ngoni) ... Best of all is "Eagle Play", a spiritual jazz freakout in which Cherry's piano locks in unison with Ralph Jones' flute while drummer John L Price flails around entertainingly".

"Music is the Cherry family business. Eagle Eye and Neneh Cherry have gotten the most mainstream attention, but their older brother, David Ornette Cherry, is the one whose work is closest to father Don's. Not only is he the one to take up the douss'n gouni, the Malian stringed instrument that was one of his father's favorite implements of sound production; he is the one to most thoroughly embrace Don's multicultural folk esthetic".
