rdf:langString Live at Cafe Montmartre 1966, Volumes 1, 2, and 3, is a trio of live albums by trumpeter Don Cherry. The albums were recorded in March 1966 at the Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen, Denmark, and were released by ESP-Disk in 2007 (Volume 1), 2008 (Volume 2), and 2009 (Volume 3). On the recordings, Cherry is joined by saxophonist Gato Barbieri, vibraphonist Karl Berger, bassist Bo Stief, and drummer Aldo Romano. Volume 1 is accompanied by a bonus DVD sampler featuring a variety of the label's artists. Barbieri, Berger, Romano, and bassist Jean-François Jenny-Clark were members of Cherry's first quintet, founded in Paris in 1964. Berger recalled: "For the first time in my experience there was a kind of music with absolutely no problems; there was no need to talk about style... since we spoke different languages, it was hardly possible to communicate verbally... Everything we later played evolved collectively." In early 1965, they recorded the live album Togetherness, later reissued as Gato Barbieri & Don Cherry. At the end of that year, Cherry and Barbieri traveled to New York, where they recorded Complete Communion with bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Ed Blackwell. Cherry and Barbieri then returned to Europe, where they reunited with the other members of the group. Live at Cafe Montmartre 1966 was recorded during a month-long engagement at Copenhagen's Cafe Montmartre, with house bassist Bo Stief substituting for Jenny-Clark, who was unavailable. All three volumes feature performances of Cherry's composition "Complete Communion", previously recorded on the album of the same name. The tracks titled "Free Improvisation: Music Now" and "Remembrance" contain some themes that would be incorporated into Cherry's 1967 album Symphony for Improvisers, recorded in September 1966.
