3.8 excellentErwann S. STAFF | January 2nd 21

Groovy, free-flowing avant-jazz, but not as dissonant or unapproachable as Coleman's style. All four musicians are incredibly dexterous at their instruments (ofc) and they manage to pull out catchy riffs in spite of the improvisational nature of the record. The second suite sometimes loses itself in its improvisation, but it has got the merit of integrating African music into the jazz template ('member, it was 1966).

Spectacular free-jazz. Both sides are fantastic in my opinion, though Communion is admittedly more consistent(ly adventurous). Amazing playing by everyone on here. Anything that can be done basically was.

84/100. Don and co. know how to throw down, that's for sure. I prefer Side A but both are great free-jazz fun. Look forward to exploring more of his discog.

3.5 greatSo be it | December 27th 12

Don Cherry hits gold with side A; great duos going on and Blackwell's interesting
polyrhythms. Bebop-like theme is given an entrance at the beginning and revisits us near the
end. Side B, on the other hand, is perhaps directionless lacking the illustrious substance
that characterized Cherry's first composition. Complete Communion is a solid offering from a
very important figure inside free-form jazz, give it a try. Even though this isn't Cherry's
ultimate achievement, it stands as an interesting suite that should not be missed if you're
well fond on these jazz cities.
