Long out of print since its 1974 Japan-only release, this transcendent live set has become a holy grail of avant-jazz collecting. Fully restored and remastered from the original master tapes, this deluxe 2LP gatefold brings a rare masterpiece back to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFollowing the success of last year’s RSD release of \u003ci\u003eOrient - \u003c\/i\u003edrawn from the same 1971 concert - this long-awaited companion completes Cherry’s pan-global vision: a sound that dissolves borders and dances between jazz, folk, and world ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRecorded live in Paris on April 22, 1971, the performance captures Cherry at his creative zenith with South African bassist Johnny Dyani and Turkish percussionist Okay Temiz. The trio moves like a living organism - fluid, spontaneous, and deeply spiritual. The opening piece, \u003ci\u003eBlue Lake\u003c\/i\u003e, finds Cherry on flute, channelling Native American inflections that merge seamlessly with Far-Eastern tonalities. The following two extended compositions, each over twenty-five minutes, are sprawling journeys of rhythm and resonance, rich with cross-cultural dialogue and ecstatic improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis deluxe reissue comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve and features new, in-depth liner notes by acclaimed jazz writer Kevin Le Gendre, offering fresh insight into Cherry’s universal musical philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST 2LP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSIDE A \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e1.
