This comprehensive volume delves deeper into Don Cherry's artistic endeavors during a pivotal period, beginning with an overview by Blank Forms Artistic Director Lawrence Kumpf and Don Cherry biographer Magnus Nygren. It further explores his work through a captivating piece on his Relativity Suite by Ben Young and an insightful essay on the diasporic quality of his music by Fumi Okiji. Ruba Katrib highlights the domestic element of Moki's practice with a biographical survey accompanied by full-color reproductions of Moki's vibrant tapestries, paintings, and sculptures, which served as performance environments for Don's ensembles during his time in Sweden and beyond.
Two selections of Moki's unpublished writings, encompassing autobiography, observations, illustrations, diary entries, poetry, and aphorisms, are framed by tributes from her daughter Neneh Cherry and granddaughter Naima Karlsson. Swedish Cherry collaborator Christer Bothén contributes period travelogues from Morocco, Mali, and New York, offering valuable insights into the cross-cultural communication that would later be recognized as "world music."
The collection also features several previously unpublished interviews with Don, conducted by Christopher R. Brewster and Keith Knox. Knox, a frequent visitor to the Cherry schoolhouse in rural Sweden, documented the family's magnetic milieu in his until-now unpublished Tågarp Publication. Reproduced here in its entirety, the journal includes an interview with Terry Riley, an essay on Pandit Pran Nath, and reports on counter-cultural education programs in Stockholm, including the Bombay Free School and the esoteric Forest University.
Taken together, the texts, artwork, and abundant photographs collected in Organic Music Societies provide a long-overdue spotlight on Don and Moki's visionary and collaborative experiments in the art of living. Edited by Lawrence Kumpf with Naima, this volume offers a profound exploration of their enduring legacy.
