Short Description: A memorable live recording of a unique encounter of jazz and contemporary classical music is available again. Don Cherry and Krzysztof Penderecki appeared live in concert in 1971 at the Donaueschingen Music Festival. Ever since this festival has been of major significance not only for avantgarde music. Cherry and Penderecki were accompanied by the New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra. Over the past thirty years, most of its members have not ceased to be highly influential among the jazz scene and beyond. The live recording of Donaueschingen was available only on vinyl on the Wergo-Label and has been out of print for many years. Before releasing ACTIONS for the first time on compact disc on Intuition, the original masters were carefully restaured and 24-bit digitally remastered. The booklet includes liner notes by producer Joachim Ernst Berendt and excerpts from an interview with Krzysztof Penderecki as well as previously unknown photos of the concert. Feat.
