Don Cherry, Ed Blackwell - El Corazon (1982)

personnel :

Don Cherry - pocket trumpet, piano, melodica, doussn' gouni, organ
Ed Blackwell - drums, wood drum, cowbell

Trumpet and drum duets are not exactly commonplace, making this collaboration between Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell something special. The music is often quite sparse (Cherry also plays a little bit of piano, melodica and organ) and the colorful Blackwell often steals the show (although the trumpeter's unaccompanied "Voice of the Silence" is a highpoint). The use of space is consistently impressive and those listeners with open ears will find this thoughtful date quite interesting.~Scott Yanow
