专辑介绍

by Steve Huey

Originally released on the tiny Sonet label, Live Ankara captures Don Cherry's concert at the American embassy in Turkey on November 23, 1969. The first American jazz musician to visit the country since Dizzy Gillespie in 1956, Cherry performs with an entirely Turkish rhythm section that includes drummer Okay Temiz, bassist Selçuk Sun, and percussionist/tenor saxophonist Irfan Sümer. The repertoire balances original Cherry themes with Turkish folk melodies arranged by Turkish jazz trumpeter Maffy Falay; there are also a couple of Ornette Coleman themes and a take on Pharoah Sanders' &The Creator Has a Master Plan.& Nothing is really explored for too long; the music is played as two continuous suites, and they usually shift to new material fairly quickly (only three of the 15 tracks are significantly longer than three minutes). The ensemble has a pretty sparse sound, with Cherry the sole lead voice (on trumpet, piano, flute, and trumpetzürna) for much of the concert. All of this serves to emphasize the melodicism of Cherry's playing here, and the Turkish material sits pretty comfortably alongside the jazz compositions. It's not quite essential, but it is very intriguing, and Cherry's more devoted fans will find it more than worth their time. (Live Ankara was reissued in full as part of the two-disc set The Sonet Recordings.)
