Art Deco

by Don Cherry

Art Deco cover art

Reuniting the legendary free jazz trumpeter with Ornette Coleman alumni Charlie Haden and James Clay, 'Art Deco' is a surprisingly accessible, gorgeously melodic late-career highlight. The acoustic quartet plays without a piano, providing vast, empty spaces for Cherry’s remarkably lyrical, muted pocket trumpet improvisations. The album brilliantly bridges complex avant-garde techniques with warm, nostalgic bop traditions.
