Don & Moki Cherry in the NYT

Nice write-up on the Cherrys and the preservation work Blank Forms is doing.

Nice article! Appears to be Frank Lowe on the bandstand there.

Indeed. And Lowe's wife (?) Carmen was also a textile artist, IIRC.

So there are TWO books on Don Cherry:

Don Cherry: Le nomade Multikulti (Univers musical) (French Edition): Francheteau, Jean: 9782343218588: Amazon.com: Books

Blank Forms 06: Organic Music Societies – Blank Forms

Any reason not to get both? (Yes, I speak French).

I got the Blank Forms book, and it is pretty damn thick. Lots of stuff in there!

You got the paperback for $20?

[JSngry]

Yep. All I can afford. Nut seems like a damn well-spent 20. Blank Forms does good work, at least with the Joseph Jarman and Thulani Davis. Those were 15, and this is but 20!

[bertrand]

As long as you can confirm the paperback is sturdy enough, I will get that. With the $40 leftover, I can get the French book and the Summer Sessions CD. Cherrypalooza!

Now we just need to talk Chuck Nessa into making that Atlantic half-session available for the world to hear in some legal way. My credit card is already pulled out.

[JSngry]

Not sturdy enough for a kid to sit on at Thanksgiving, if that's what you mean...

But I feel I got good value, yeah.

[bertrand]

Just want to make sure it is not too flimsy. It will be in my book cabinet except when I am reading it.

[JSngry]

You should be fine, then.

[bertrand]

$40 difference seems like a lot for a hard cover.
