Again Clifford, to clarify things a bit: since I wasn’t completely sure about these sessions, I wrote to Johann Haidenbauer to check my doubts. Johann replied (in his very characteristic way): “Yeah, I think this is based on an interview that was published in DownBeat.” I know Johann well enough to recognize that his “Yeah” usually means “yes, you’re on the right track”, but both he and I prefer to keep a small margin of uncertainty — old notes and memories can always be tricky. Still, in this case I’m fairly confident that my recollection is correct.

Ciao Clifford thanks Blue Rock Studio, New York City, circa February, 1978 The news comes from the discography of Mike Hames and Roy Wilbraham, whom I believe you know, and I also agree with what you say about the Here & Now period. Unfortunately, dear Clifford, I can no longer talk to Don about it (how many things I would like to ask him now). I say this because we saw each other many times between 1973 and 1991.

Does anyone have information about this unreleased Atlantic Records concert by Don Cherry? Lineup reported: Don Cherry – trumpet, vocals Janice "Jan" Cherry – violin Ricky Cherry – keyboards Stan Samole – guitar Claudio Ferreira – guitar Siegfried "Tiki" Busch – bass Anthony Busch – drums Naná Vasconcelos – percussion Raphael Cruz – percussion I’m asking because I’m not sure this concert ever actually took place. Any details, confirmation, or corrections would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Thornton it is impooirtant for me this information No, Bertand I don't known nothing about Cornell in 1991

Cia Carville, I have visited your interesting website many times in the past and am delighted to be able to contact you. Unfortunately, I am now 83 years old and before asking you what I want to know, I would like to tell you that: I am extremely passionate about Don's music. In 1973, I was lucky enough to meet him at his magnificent home in Tågarp Skola. I met him many times after getting to know him, and he hosted me for about 15 days in his van during the tour he did in Italy in 1975, the year we organised his first concert in Pisa. In short, it is also an emotional attachment that binds me to knowing about the performances he has given all over the world. Now the questions: As I told you, I already know your website and it has been very useful in the past, so I fear that, having never announced a meeting between him and Cecil Taylor, you cannot confirm the rumours that are circulating; Five Spot Café, New York City, NY, giugno-luglio 1960 Don Cherry ptp, Jimmy Lyons alto, Cecil Taylor p, Buell Neidlinger o Henry Grimes b, Sunny Murray dr Café Montmartre, Copenaghen, NY, 1962 Don Cherry ptp, Jimmy Lyons alto, Cecil Taylor piano Loft Sessions, New York City, NY, 1964 Don Cherry ptp, probabilmente Albert Ayler ts, Cecil Taylor piano, Sunny Murray dr Are these fake news, or is there some truth to it in different times and places where they may have met? Of course, news obtained from reliable sources. I hope I have made myself clear in explaining what I want, and thank you again for your reply. Luciano PS: I have also been in contact with Joahn Haidembauer for about 20 years. I asked him about this a few days ago, and he replied that these are rumours that have been circulating for many years and are not true. And since I know that Joahnn is a good person, I am a little disappointed. I live in the hope that Joahnn is wrong and that maybe one day a document will come out, perhaps a musical one, that confirms it.

I would like to get in touch with someone who is passionate about Don Chery, especially regarding his live concerts. I sincerely hope that someone will contact me and, above all, that I will be able to find the answer. I can't figure out how to navigate this important site. I hope this is the right place for my question. Thank you.

On the: The Thousand Threads, a Neneh Cherry's Book, there is this information: ... By 1954, and still in high school, Don had earned a union card and was playing professionally. Often, he would compete in talent shows around the neighbourhood with people like Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson. Don said that Johnny, slicker than the rest, always won. With Billy, George Newman and Pee Wee Williams, they formed a group called the Jazz Messiahs, playing bebop and jazz in clubs around town. Together they played R&B clubs, going as far north as Vancouver. .. My question is: Is Pee Wee Williams a bass player? Does anyone know him?

Ciao, I would like some information about an alleged record (or CD): Sonny Rollins 'Live in Europe' (w/ Cherry, Grimes and Higgins) that was just reissued by Fruit Tree? as you can see, 'posted' by Nathan in 2006. Do you know anything about it?

Finally I found my notes so: Night and Day I think is nothing more than: the Improvised Medley, an approximately 26-minute piece (often referred to as Sonny's tune & Sonny's Tune Second Version as in jzzup 313) containing quotations from The Bridge, You Don't Know what love is, Sly Moongoose Could be correct this opinion?

Dear Sir I hope you in your help. First question: what are the information to find: Sonny Rollins Live In Europe by Fruit Tree Label? Second question: d) Night and Day JazzUp JU-313, Sonny Rollins Quartet In Europe 1963, vol. I, a-d Night And Day it is not on the two JuzzUp 313/4 CDs nor on the Moon Moon MCD 053-2-Moon MCD 05a4-2 CDs unless it is Sonny's Tune or Sonny's Tune 2 version one of the two Jazzup 313 titles. And you will not find this title in any recording of the Rollins/Cherry's concerts Is it correct? Greetings Luciano

Ciao Nathan I would like to know the title and catalogue number of the Sonny Rollins Live In Europe reissue from the Fruit Tree, I can't find any trace of it
