Don Cherry - Mu 1

The six year old is in his Don Cherry phase, it turns out. 

I tried to make him articulate why he likes it but he basically said he liked 'Brown Rice' so now he likes all Don Cherry, which I guess is how the 6 year old mind works.

Great posting ! 

Yes that´s a very good description of Moncur´s ability as a composer. I didn´t know he was a junkie but it´s strange that even after Bird´s death so many musicians in the 60´s who started to play only after Bird was dead, became junkies. 
I never in live would have thought that Woody Shaw was a junkey. From the way he looked and he was presented by Columbia he seemed to me as the perfect musican who also is a model citizen, highly intelectual, loving husband and father and stuff, and when I saw him the last time in 1987 I couldn´t believe THIS is THE Woody Shaw.....

 

heroin is still a very widely used drug in the US, as are other opiates, in a variety of communities. It's nasty stuff; I'm probably not the only one on this board who has had friends who were addicted and succumbed to the drug. But yes, among post-Bird jazz musicians, there was a significant number who battled 'personal problems" to varying degrees.
