For his second album, Symphony for Improvisers, Don Cherry expanded his
Complete Communion quartet -- tenor saxophonist Gato Barbieri, bassist
Henry Grimes, and drummer Ed Blackwell -- to a septet, adding
vibraphonist Karl Berger, bassist Jean François Jenny-Clark, and tenor
saxophonist Pharoah Sanders (who frequently plays piccolo here). The
lineup has a real international flavor, since Barbieri was from
Argentina, Berger from Germany, and Jenny-Clark from France; Cherry had
gigged regularly with all three during his 1964-1965 sojourn in Europe,
and brought them to New York to record. With all the added firepower,
it's remarkable that Symphony for Improvisers has the same sense of
shared space and controlled intelligence as its predecessor, even when
things are at their most heated. Once again, Cherry sets up the album as
two continuous medleys that fuse four compositions apiece, which allows
the group's improvisational energy and momentum to carry straight
through the entire program. The "Symphony for Improvisers" suite is the
most raucous part of Cherry's Blue Note repertoire, and the "Manhattan
Cry" suite pulls off the widest mood shifts Cherry had yet attempted in
that format. Even though the album is full of passionate fireworks,
there's also a great deal of subtlety -- the flavors added to the
ensemble by Berger's vibes and Sanders' piccolo, for example, or the way
other instrumental voices often support and complement a solo
statement. Feverish but well-channeled, this larger-group session is
probably Cherry's most gratifying for Blue Note. Steve Huey
