On Relativity Suite, the legendary nomadic visionary and pocket trumpet pioneer Don Cherry collaborates with the monumental Jazz Composer's Orchestra to deliver a towering, historically explosive, and masterfully panoramic orchestral document. Recorded in New York in 1973 and released by the artist-led vanguard imprint JCOA Records, this ambitious masterpiece stands as one of the definitive holy grails of spiritual multi-ethnic big band composition, seamlessly fusing uninhibited free improvisation with traditional musical frameworks from Mali, India, and China. Spanning nearly 34 minutes of immaculate high-fidelity spatial design, the 7-part continuous landscape operates with an intense, ritualistic, and beautifully balanced kinetic energy. Cherry acts as a brilliant orchestrator for an absolute mega-ensemble of avant-garde icons, tracking breathtaking communal highlights like the hypnotic, heavy-grooving modal opener Tantra, the folklore-infused architecture of The Queen of Tung-T'ing Lake, and the soaring, explosive horn lines of Trans-Love Airways. Driven by Cherry’s lyrical trumpet geometry, a blazing woodwind gallery featuring Dewey Redman and Frank Lowe, a dense chamber string section anchored by Charlie Haden, and the legendary dual-drum engine of Ed Blackwell and Paul Motian, this pristine archive remains an indispensable cornerstone for serious free jazz purists and avant-garde collectors worldwide.
