Title: Don Cherry Moments
Review: My first CD from Nils, will check out more.There are sections of Khmer where his playing reminds me of Don Cherry from his Codona or Multikulti eras. I love Cherry, but there's only so much available of that sound, so to hear it in this Cd was delightful. If that sounds intriguing to you, I'd say check this Nils CD out.But Cherry is not the only sound here. Much is B+ Laswell-ish and that's fine in my book.There is a spot or two with a sort of Death Metal-ish growling which I could definitely do without. There lies the 4-star rating rather than 5-star.ps - The ECM sound that I'm familiar with is smoother than Khmer, think snowy Winter. This is more assertive, different from the ECM pack.
