Description
At the 1971 Donaueschingen Music Festival, American jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and Polish composer and conductor Krzysztof Penderecki performed together with the illustrious personnel of the New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra in a memorable concert that has been unavailable for many years. After an extensive technical sound restoration using 24-bit digital remastering, Intuition is now releasing 'Actions' on 180g vinyl.
During the four days prior to the concert in Donaueschingen, Cherry and the other musicians rehearsed 15 themes, of which seven were performed inthe concert. Nothing was written down, nor was the order of themes defined. Cherry (occasionally the Dutch singer Loes MacGillycutty) led into each subsequent theme, and the musicians simply joined in as soon as they recognised them. Therefore, hesitant beginnings and lead-ins are all part of the "Humus" concept.
The orchestra for Donaueschingen was gathered together from some of the most renowned musicians on the international jazz scene, including artists from the USA, England, Germany, Holland, Norway and Poland. The group on 'Actions' included Peter Brotzmann, Kenny Wheeler, Tomasz Stanko, Terje Rypdal, Fred Van Hove, Albert Mangelsdorff, Paul Rutherford, Han Bennink and others. With Don Cherry playing trumpet, piccolo and flute, and Krzysztof Penderecki conducting.
