At moments its brutish and disorderly; at others, it has a childlike sense of ease and minimalism. Cherry was hanging with \u003cstrong\u003eTerry Riley\u003c\/strong\u003e in Köln around the time of the recording sessions, and that influence certainly bleeds through the opening keyboard motif on the titular track. “Black Rice” quickly evolves out of this minimalism into a funky electric bongo jam, complete with Cherry’s hypnotic chants. On “Malkauns,” two sections of bass improvisation and a haunting Tanpura drone sandwich the clash of Cherry’s frantic squeals and \u003cstrong\u003eBilly Higgins\u003c\/strong\u003e’ explosive drumming. Moments like these, where it feels like the entire song is about to collapse on itself before reaching a gentle resolution, are where Brown Rice truly shines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in gatefold sleeve w\/ extensive liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efeaturing \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Don+Cherry\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDon Cherry\u003c\/a\u003e (t), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Frank+Lowe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFrank Lowe\u003c\/a\u003e (t. sax), Ricky Cherry (p), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Charlie+Haden\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCharlie Haden\u003c\/a\u003e (b), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Billy+Higgins\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBilly Higgins\u003c\/a\u003e (d) + more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: A\u0026amp;M 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by SHH! 05\/2021\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Don Cherry","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":39334195789914,"sku":"fr-4469","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/doncherry-brownrice-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1754593334","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/don-cherry-brown-rice-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
