We’re celebrating the release of David Ornette Cherry’s Organic Nation Listening Club (the Continual), with this beautiful video of ‘Najour’, the track that is the inspiration of this incredible album!

In this new album, David Ornette Cherry following his father’s tradition - the legendary, innovative jazz trumpeter and composer, Don Cherry, of organic music universality. This a mosaic of healing soundscapes blending spiritual jazz, left-field electronica, Eastern & native, indigenous sounds into musical parallels that transport the listener through doorways of ancient pathways to futurist crossroads.

David Ornette Cherry talks about his vision: “When I started my musical journey, my father, Don Cherry, took me under his wings. “To be an Artist/ Musician is a commitment, you must learn the music… own the music you create... and give it back. You must have a vision.”

In my world, the piano, the keyboard, sounds of nature and numerous instruments of traditional peoples and those who reside in urban society, touch and effect each other with a calming and symbiotic fervour. I compose with the idea that all exist in a world of harmonies which mirror life evolving away from the chaotic (to the positive). There's not just a co-existence but a melding of forms to produce a single musical expression.” - David Ornette Cherry

These unique sounds are also a Cherry family affair with David collaborating with his incredibly talented nieces, Tyson McVey in the beautiful, upbeat ‘So & So & So and So’ and Naima Karlsson on the spiritual ‘Cosmic Nomad’, where Don Cherry’s instrument blue reeds is also featuring - an ode to his father’s work.

This is phenomenal music with David Ornette Cherry working with upcoming, talented musicians from across the globe into creating genre-defying, groovy, spiritual organic soundscapes that speak to the soul - a mosaic of atmospheric and dance soundscapes blending electronica, Eastern & native sounds and beautiful winds & strings that transport the listener through doorways of ancient pathways and futuristic crossroads!

MUSIC FOR THE SPIRIT

“Invisible forces of David Ornette Cherry’s musicality are framed by his latest offering. Delicately balanced and perfectly paired with a palette of delicious grandiloquence--sounds summon the discerning ear to bathe in the light of ancestral voices. Notes reverently layered, his fingers unfold a pastiche of dancers in fluid movements of shadow and light that sonder across the polished foundation of his musical ark. In the ‘Continual’, Cherry unveils his creative genius that resonates, merging assonance, dissonance in musical parallels that work to woo--to transport the listener through doorways of a legendary Alhambra to a futurist crossroads where the Highlander’s war pipes bid us join in the revelry--we heed the funky call.” - DJ Watson

“David Ornette Cherry was born into a cosmic-centered family I say this having known both Don and Carletta Cherry his parents as well as his sister, violinist Jan Cherry. In ‘Organic Nation Listening Club (the Continual)’, David continues his work which is represented in Organic Grooves/Organic Nation bending and reshaping genres to suit his artistic and musical vision. The voices, the sitar and percussions embody the essence of the simplicity of complexity without the banality that some minimalism slips into. For those who have ears, David Ornette Cherry and the Organic Nation are a force to reckon with!” - Tom Porter
