Organic Music Societies di Lawrence Kumpf
Bard MFA Year 1.
Home as Stage, Stage as Home
Review of the Blank Forms Editions paperback (2021)
Don Cherry's world fusion music is known through his dozen or so LPs (now CDs) from the 1970s-1980s time, but Moki Cherry's contribution to their mutual Organic Music Societies work was mostly only known through her album cover art, until this immense 496 page catalogue that documents through a generous selection of interviews, articles, autobiographies, diaries and photographs their international communal journey. This is highly recommended for modern jazz and world music fans.

Review of the Blank Forms Editions paperback (2021)
Music never stops. It is you who is stopping it. It is you that is ending. - Don Cherry as quoted in the liner notes for the album Eternal RhythmAmerican jazz trumpeter Don Cherry had already earned his place in music history by being part of the seminal Ornette Coleman Quartet in the late 1950s / early 1960s, but his search afterwards led him much further afield and a case could be made that he was one of the major initiators of what is now variously labelled as the world music / world fusion genre. Cherry was already taking steps in that direction in the mid-1960s with his international quintet of Cherry/Barbieri/Berger/Romano/Stief where each member of the group spoke a different mother tongue without even much English in common. Don Cherry originally met Swedish designer/artist Moki Karlsson in 1963 and they then joined their lives together in 1967.
The stage is home and home is a stage. - Moki Cherry's motto during the Organic Music Societies era
