While sorting through my collection of music and assorted material I happened upon a copy of Don Cherry’s “Multikulti” rather badly misfiled. I thought that was somewhat ominous as I had just received some music from the Italian label, Caligola, centered upon drummer and percussionist Cristiano Calcagnile, who just happens to be locked into Don Cherry’s music. In 2013 Calcagnile had begun working on a tribute to Cherry. Subsequent performances led to a recording of Cherry’s music in 2015 followed by more performances that led Calcagnile to believe he was onto something good. Now he’s released another album of music that features several pieces unused for the original session and reworked. Both of those albums highlight the first hour.
Some of the fast-rising musicians from the NY scene have new recordings out and they’re touched upon in this episode: trombonist John Yao, drummer Dor Herskovitz, the quartet Earprint, and an extended free piece from the Sfyria Trio. Swedish multi-reedist Alberto Pinton has a new band and a new record label to celebrate the release of “Layers”, and of course there is much more for you this week.
