Don Cherry in Italy and Three

Cherry on Italian TV in 1976 with Gian Piero Pramaggiore, Moki Cherry, and Nana Vasconcelos. Al cento per cento dolce! Beaming from the TV and then on out to space, Universe says eff yeah and sighs.



And here's a source-mysterious Don Cherry, James Blood Ulmer, and Rashied Ali trio laying it down. I wish I knew who was behind this, but alas I cannot find definitive info. I think this show took place at Ali's Alley in NY, 1978. But another source on these internets says it is from Swedish TV, where Cherry briefly resided. Also no evidence that this trio ever recorded. It's pretty hot! Anyone have all the answers?
