Don Cherry "Complete Communion"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Blue Note, US, 2015, ST-84226, 602547105165, Reissue

Don Cherry’s 1966 Blue Note debut, Complete Communion, stands as a pivotal development in avant-garde jazz. Moving away from his prominent role as a sideman for Ornette Coleman, the cornetist introduced a highly structured framework for free improvisation.The album consists of two side-long suites: the title track on Side A and "Elephantasy" on Side B. Rather than following a standard head-solo-head format or relying entirely on athematic improvisation, Cherry threads several distinct melodic motifs through each suite without explicit pauses.
