Don Cherry & Ed Blackwell - El Corazon

�The trumpeter sketches a succession of melodies and moods around and over the rich textural detail and earthy solidity of Mr Blackwell�s drumming,� noted Robert Palmer in The New York Times. �The melodies come from Spain, Africa, Jamaica and the modern jazz compositions of Thelonious Monk, but Mr Cherry and Mr Blackwell transform them into a personal music that is as urbane and international as they are. Together, they make El Coraz�n one of the most impressive duet albums of recent years.�

This magical 1982 album, overflowing with character, has remained the reference recording for trumpet and drums duos.

Personnel: Don Cherry (pocket trumpet, piano, melodica, doussn�gouni); Ed Blackwell (drums, wood drum, cowbell)
