Don Cherry - Multikulti (live on BBC’s Birdland circa 1991, audio only)

Update: I found the VHS and the full video is now available here: This is the full audio recording from an old performance by Don Cherry on a jazz show that played on BBC back in the day, called Birdland. It featured a few of the then contemporary jazz artists like Ornette Coleman, Steve Coleman, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, among others (). Cherry gave here what I think is his best performance from the Multikulti era, despite the poor quality of the audio and the out-of-tune melodica that he loved playing for an unknown reason. Especially refreshing were the combination of keys with acoustic instruments as well as Peter Apfelbaum’s playing of both the piano and tenor sax. His piano solo at 4:40 is fantastic as is the exit from it to Don Cherry - Pocket Trumpet, Recorder, Melodica, Vocals, Keys Peter Apfelbaum - Piano, Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Keys Bo Freeman - Electric Bass Hamid Drake
