Don Cherry & Friends- SFSU 3/17/93 Transfer from Hi8ME-VHS tape Ornette Coleman John Coltrane Jazz

Man, Scott Davey's collection continues to deliver the goods. what a cool document of this legendary Jazz musician. A little about Don Cherry, from Wikipedia: "Donald Eugene Cherry (November 18, 1936 – October 19, 1995) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and multi-instrumentalist. Beginning in the late 1950s, he had a long tenure performing in the bands of saxophonist Ornette Coleman, including on the pioneering free jazz albums The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959) and Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation (1961). Cherry also collaborated separately with musicians including John Coltrane, Charlie Haden, Sun Ra, Ed Blackwell, the New York Contemporary Five, and Albert Ayler." Well hot damn, that is quite the resume. The VHS tape just said "Don Cherry raw footage transfer from Hi8ME master", so I had no idea where it is from, until Scott films the flyer for the event at the end of the video. Knowing that Hi8ME tapes came out in 1989 and were popular amongst nerds like me (I filmed the Uncle Tupelo shows with Hi8ME tapes) and Don passed in 1995; AND Scott Davey was based in San Francisco, I am guessing that this performance takes place in the early 1990s. Scott films a flyer that says the performance takes place on Wednesday, March 17. The only March 17 that falls on a Wednesday between these 2 years is 1993.
