Don Cherry - Unissued Recordings

[pelle]

I have just launched a site called "Don Cherry- Unissued Recordings". As the title says, it's a list - a work in progress and far from complete - of circulated unofficial and unissued recordings with Mr. Cherry.

good luck with the site!

so where can i pick up some of these "unissued" recordings?

[brownie]

Very interesting site!

One date that is listed in this Unissued discography has been issued.

The November 1, 1981 concert at Columbia University was released in Japan on DIW in 1994.

It's the 4CD set 'Interpretations of Monk'.

I can supply information for the 2nd entry - Cherry/Grimes/Blackwell.

This was recorded in Atlantic's studio in NYC on November 29, 1961.

1. The Idiot (Coleman) 4:56

2. Harlemite (Cherry) 8:34

3. Black Elk Speaks (Cherry) 7:10

[Michael Fitzgerald]

My Henry Grimes discography covers a few of these with more detail (URL below).

Isn't there a duplicate Scianni in there?

Mike

Also - the Hillcrest 1958 was issued, and about the 1957 one - see the Don Friedman discography on my site - is this the same?

The January '68 date with Charles Brackeen was issued under Brackeen's name on Strata East.

I have more data on the other Frontier sessions (titles and timings) but can't locate my file.

More later.

[Michael Fitzgerald]

Perhaps this will assist on the Frontier material:

Excellent. Much appreciated.

Thanks!

Interesting site! Thanks for pointing it out!

One thing I saw while glancing through: the November 9, 1964 Hilversum session by Albert Ayler was released, and is (as far as I know) still available. More info here.

[clifford_thornton]

Thanks! This will be a very helpful site. One misspelling repeats itself: Muffy Fallai (tp, SWE) is actually Maffay Falay, to my knowledge.

A while back Francis Davis reviewed a "bootleg" with Cherry, Sanders, etc. in the Village Voice. He was very coy & wouldn't reveal how to get a copy.

Anyone know what I'm referencing & where it could be obtained???

[relyles]

Although it circulates under Cherry's name, the 5/14/86 performance was actually issued under Togashi’s name in Japan on PMC 1103, Bura-Bura.

[relyles]

Here is further information I have on the 7/6/86 performance:

Cherry Don - Nu 86-07-06 Münster, 08. Internationales Jazzfestival 1986, Münsterhalle Don Cherry,c,tp,p Carlos Ward,as,fl Mark Helias,b Ed Blackwell,dr, Nana Vasconcelos,per

I thought it was available online; there's a thread here about that somewhere...

And I was always under the impression that it was 62, maybe 63 but 'definately' not 64.

Thanks guys for all the help. I have a list with, roughly, 35 more recordings that will be listed soon. And - as you have noticed - tons of corrections to do.

jlhoots: I'll check in my documents and in my own collection to see if I can find the recording that Davis reviewed. Do you remeber any specific details?

There is a short (5m24) video with the Rollins/Cherry/Grimes/Higgins group performing for Italian television (RAI), probably 1963. The tune sounds very familiar, but I cannot place it, maybe someone more knowledgeable can, I have uploaded an mp3 here (hope this works).

[Michael Fitzgerald]

Please see the Henry Grimes discography on my website. This is listed under January 20, 1963.
