"When I play I think of how the phrases move as a dance, or something in nature like a bird or a shooting star.” – Don Cherry

The new album by ‘Cosmic Nomad’ David Ornette Cherry in his father’s tradition, the legendary jazz innovator Don Cherry. This a mosaic of healing soundscapes blending spiritual jazz, leftfield electronica, Eastern & native, indigenous sounds into musical parallels that transport the listener through doorways of ancient pathways to futurist crossroads.

This is a phenomenal, unique album, bringing together multi-genre funky, earthy Indigenous sounds, organic soundscapes and cosmic melodies that transport to a higher level where the Ancestors weave their magic and join the cosmic dance!

David Ornette Cherry talks about vision and approach and Don Cherry’s remarkable influence as an artist : “When I started my musical journey, my father, Don Cherry, took me under his wings. “To be an Artist/ Musician is a commitment, you must learn the music… own the music you create... and give it back. You must have a vision.”

“In my world, the piano, the keyboard, sounds of nature and numerous instruments of traditional peoples and those who reside in urban society, touch and effect each other with a calming and symbiotic fervour. I compose with the idea that all exist in a world of harmonies which mirror life evolving away from the chaotic (to the positive). There's not just a co-existence but a melding of forms to produce a single musical expression.”

"Invisible forces of David Ornette Cherry’s musicality are framed by his latest offering. Delicately balanced and perfectly paired with a palette of delicious grandiloquence--sounds summon the discerning ear to bathe in the light of ancestral voices. Notes reverently layered, his fingers unfold a pastiche of dancers in fluid movements of shadow and light that sonder across the polished foundation of his musical ark. In the Continual, Cherry unveils his creative genius that resonates, merging assonance, dissonance in musical parallels that work to woo--to transport the listener through doorways of a legendary Alhambra to a futurist crossroads where the Highlander’s war pipes bid us join in the revelry--we heed the funky call." - DJ Watson

"David Cherry was born into a cosmic-centered family I say this having known both Don and Carletta Cherry his parents as well as his sister, violinist Jan Cherry. In ‘Organic Nation Listening Club (the Continual)’, David continues his work which is represented in organic grooves/Organic Nation bending and reshaping genres to suit his artistic and musical vision. The voices, the sitar and percussions embody the essence of the simplicity of complexity without the banality that some minimalism slips into. For those who have ears, David and the Organic Nation are a force to reckon with." - Tom Porter
