REVIEW/AMG
Michael G. Nastos
Walcott adds tympani, cherry melodica, Nana talking-drum. More Coleman and Walcott compositions, a traditional African piece "Godumaduma", and Cherry's vital "Malinye." Absolutely uplifting.

(AMG)
Name derived from the letters of the name of Collin Walcott (tabla, sitar), Don Cherry (tpt, p, hunter's guitar), and Nana Vasconcelos (per). Multi-ethnic improvisational music, mostly stemming from Walcott's interest in Eastern Indian rhythms and Vasconcelos's Brazilian heritage. Cherry's experience with folk music of Scandinavia, Morocco, and Africa makes for a unique, major-league fusion.

REVIEW/AMG
Michael G. Nastos
Their definitive debut. Walcot adds dulcimer and sanza, Nana Berimbau and cuica, Cherry on ethnic flutes. Side two is solid with Walcott's chant-like "Mumakata" and "New Light". Side one has an Ornette Coleman/Stevie Wonder medley. These three communicate.
