The Great Trip: Rare and Unheard Music from Don Cherry

In anticipation of the Organic Music Societies exhibition, Blank Forms will be presenting a daylong radio show dedicated to Don and Moki Cherry’s life in Sweden and beyond on Sunday, March 7th starting at 9 a.m. EST. Key recordings from the early ’60s through late ’80s, including rare and private music, will be diffused by hosts Lawrence Kumpf and Adrian Rew, as well as international guests Mats Gustafsson and Magnus Nygren. The show will additionally include live interviews with Neneh Cherry, Naima Karlsson, Famoudou Don Moye, and Bengt “Beche” Berger, as well as a performance by Christer Bothén. The program will be livestreamed exclusively, with no archive to follow, so tuning in is the only way to hear this material.
