DON CHERRY: Mu First Part BYG Actuel French Import 1969 1st Press Ed Blackwell Free Jazz Recorded August 22, 1969, Studio Saravah, Paris First Actual Recording in series # 1
Mu, First Part and Second Part, is a pair of albums by multi-instrumentalist Don Cherry. The albums, which also feature drummer Ed Blackwell, were recorded in August 1969 at Studio Saravah in Paris, and were released by BYG Records as part of their Actuel series in 1969 (First Part). Mu was one of the first efforts in what would come to be known as world music
In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote: "This classic recording... captures Don Cherry near the height of his global quest to absorb as much music as possible from different cultures and funnel it back through his jazz sensibility. It's one of the earliest, and most successful, experiments in what would later come to be known as world music... The Mu sessions have long held legendary status and it's not difficult to hear why. Highly recommended."
