Complete Communion

A revolutionary album that introduced a new concept in long-form free jazz composition. The record consists of two side-long continuous suites, each weaving together four of Don Cherry's compositions into a single, seamless performance. The band, featuring the fiery tenor of Argentinian saxophonist Gato Barbieri, moves fluidly between the different themes without breaks. It was a pivotal innovation for the avant-garde, creating a new way to structure an entire album side as one unified, freely improvised work.
