TERRY RILEY, DON CHERRY, KARL BERGER - Live In Koln, 23.2.1975 (Sealed) (2LP)

The concert staged by Terry Riley, Don Cherry and Karl Berger in Cologne, Germany on February 23 1975 serves as a landmark of minimalist jazz. The album is comprised of just three mega-length songs, with Riley in the driver's seat, Berger as a steady accompaniment and Cherry passing through in fleeting melodic moments; final track 'K?ln Improvisations' references the Indian musical and spiritual forms that were so appealing to each musician; opening track 'Descending Moonshine Dervishes' bridges the psychedelic and minimalist realms and 'Sunrise Of The Planetary Dream Collective' is based on throbbing, repetitive keyboard and vibraphone patterns.
