Multi-instrumentalist David Ornette Cherry was born the same year that his father, Don Cherry, and namesake, Ornette Coleman, recorded the world-shaking early free-jazz template Something Else!!!. For inspiration, however, Cherry draws on Don’s later hippified, pan-cultural, early 1970s aesthetic: his album’s name echoes Don’s Organic Music Society and the music it contains aspires to a similar free-wheeling, globally-minded spiritualty, with Cherry even picking up the West African douss’n gouni harp that Don popularised. It’s a shame the results aren’t anywhere near as arresting. Things get off to a bad start with clumsy electronic beats and a vaguely aspirational rap over tambura drone and sitar flicker, followed by more lumpen rhythms with flashes of Celtic fiddle. A female narrator trots out a bunch of clichéd homilies about being “one with the creator and one with the ancestors” to the accompaniment of free-boiling drums, electric piano and violin. If you can make it past these misfires, the album does pick up somewhat, with a series of vignettes touching on New Age synth plinking; disembodied rhythmic experiments with timpani and piano; and abstract, ambient doodles with trumpet and burbling beats. Overall, though, it’s sadly lacking in direction.
