[Dixielandjazz] Cherry

[Scott Anthony]

The Eldorado Syncopators, Robert Young's skiffle band, play it. I'm sure Rae 
Ann has done a video of them playing it at one of their monthly appearances 
in Cotati.

The most recent live performance of CHERRY I heard was by Benny Golson, in 
Germany three or four years ago.
During the first half of the concert I was not pleased with the drumming, 
but having moved elsewhere in the hall for the second half (downstairs 
rather than the small balcony) I was amazed to discover I'd been the victim 
of an acoustic freak -- some of the sound of the drumming shot up and 
resonated all the way to the rear of the balcony, and some stayed below --  
the bassist was good, and the third of the young Europeans played lyrical 
lines with not the least hint of asmanynotesaspossible-regardless. What a 
lovely piano feature we heard, a tuneful original.
Golson refers to CHERRY when talking about the programme of his CD Terminal 
One,

and it did seem to be one of those themes which allowed the tenor soloist to 
hold together elements of what are generally referred to as different 
periods of jazz.

Of course on an earlier recording made in Switzerland Golson played a very 
lengthy solo on his "I Remember Clifford" which went into "E Lucevan Le 
Stelle" just as one gathers Bechet had played operatic arias for European 
audiences eight years before..

I suppose he was doing a number of things some musicians whose work might be 
associated with this list would neglect to do.

Don Redman was of course a master
