Don Cherry

[Luciano]

I would like to get in touch with someone who is passionate about Don Chery, especially regarding his live concerts. I sincerely hope that someone will contact me and, above all, that I will be able to find the answer. I can't figure out how to navigate this important site. 
I hope this is the right place for my question. Thank you.

Luciano-

 I have a pretty extensive collection of unreleased Don Cherry files. Check out this website that's sadly no longer being updated or hosted. I sent Pelle a lot of material for his site and it's still very useful though out of date. Feel free to message me.

Cia Carville,
I have visited your interesting website many times in the past and am delighted to be able to contact you.
Unfortunately, I am now 83 years old and before asking you what I want to know, I would like to tell you that:

I am extremely passionate about Don's music.
In 1973, I was lucky enough to meet him at his magnificent home in Tågarp Skola.

I met him many times after getting to know him, and he hosted me for about 15 days in his van 
during the tour he did in Italy in 1975, the year we organised his first concert in Pisa.

In short, it is also an emotional attachment that binds me to knowing about the performances he has given all over the world.
Now the questions:
As I told you, I already know your website and it has been very useful in the past, so I fear that, having never announced a meeting
between him and Cecil Taylor, you cannot confirm the rumours that are circulating;

Five Spot Café,  New York City, NY, giugno-luglio 1960
Don Cherry ptp, Jimmy Lyons alto, Cecil Taylor p, Buell Neidlinger o Henry Grimes b, Sunny Murray dr

Café Montmartre,  Copenaghen, NY, 1962
Don Cherry ptp, Jimmy Lyons alto, Cecil Taylor piano

Loft Sessions,  New York City, NY, 1964
Don Cherry ptp, probabilmente Albert Ayler ts, Cecil Taylor piano, Sunny Murray dr

Are these fake news, or is there some truth to it in different times and places where they may have met? Of course, 
news obtained from reliable sources.

I hope I have made myself clear in explaining what I want, and thank you again for your reply.

Luciano

PS: I have also been in contact with Joahn Haidembauer for about 20 years. I asked him about this a few days ago, and he replied that
these are rumours that have been circulating for many years and are not true.

And since I know that Joahnn is a good person, I am a little disappointed. I live in the hope that Joahnn is wrong and
that maybe one day a document will come out, perhaps a musical one, that confirms it.

Luciano,

Have you contacted Ben Young?

Ben might know, yeah.

I texted Ben and these "sessions" did not occur or are highly improbable at best.

This thread reminded me that I was contacted by soneone who had a recording of Don Cherry at Cornell in 1991 and he was wondering how to get in touch with the estate. I need to reply to him.

Is this a recording that is widely circulated? It is not listed on the website above, but it must be a Multi Kulti gig.
