Don Cherry - Europe 1964 [RSD Black Friday 2025] Vinyl Record

In their short time together, Albert Ayler and Don Cherry created a body of music that genuinely exists in the moment. Oblivious to rules and aesthetic boundaries, they played what they felt on their nerve-ends, embracing mistakes and wrong turns as part of the experience of making art in the moment.
Now over sixty years old, these recordings breathe as strongly and sound as vividly as they did when they were made. This 4xLP box set contains four sets of recordings from the fall of 1964, including live sets at Copenhagen's Jazzhus Montmartre and a VARA Radio session in The Netherlands. Albert Ayler's vital free jazz quartet featured Don Cherry on cornet, Gary Peacock on double bass and Sunny Murray on drums. The audio has been remastered and compiled together for the first time on vinyl, and the release includes a fold-out insert with extensive liner notes from Brian Morton. It comes to record stores first on November 28 as part of RSD Black Friday.
