Don / Jon

Rare, previously unreleased outtakes from electro acoustic pioneer and Synclavier developer Jon Appleton and experimental jazz outrider Don Cherry's controversial electronic jazz experiments, recorded during the sessions for their 1970 Human Music LP at the Bregman Electronic Music Studio at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. Released with the blessing and encouragement of Appleton himself, this absolutely essential record combines the creative technology that directly coincided with the dawn of Bob Moog and Don Buchla's synthesizer revolution with the homecoming of outer national free jazz - two strains that, in tandem, spearheaded America's most radical music developments in the subsequent two decades and beyond.
