One of Don Cherry's most intriguing works in jazz fusion is surely "Brown Rice." Combining free jazz dissonance with funk and his usual interest in Indian and African music, "Brown Rice" also features Charlie Haden playing the funkiest bass with a wah wah pedal. It's hypnotic groove is so irresistible that even Cherry's vocals and chanting do not ruin it. As Ornette Coleman told us, beauty is a rare thing.
