Brown Rice, reissued as Don Cherry, is a studio album recorded in 1975 by trumpeter Don Cherry.
The album presents a fusion of jazz with rock, African, Indian, and Arabic music.
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4½ stars stating “Brown Rice is the most accessible entry point into Cherry’s borderless ideal, jelling into a personal, unique, and seamless vision that’s at once primitive and futuristic in the best possible senses of both words. While Cherry would record a great deal of fine work in the years to come, he would never quite reach this level of wild invention again”.
Brian Morton and Richard Cook, writing for The Penguin Guide to Jazz, called Brown Rice “a lost classic of the era and probably the best place to sample the trumpeter as both soloist – he blows some stunningly beautiful solos here – and as the shamanic creator of a unique, unearthly sound that makes dull nonsense of most ‘fusion’ work of the period.… Exceptional and recommended.” Previous editions of The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave the album a four-star rating, of a possible four.
Carl Braurer, writing for Cadence, suggested that the title track and “Degi-Degi” were the least successful tracks on the album, and would have benefited from shorter running times.However, Braurer felt that overall, “this [album] is Cherry at his finest.”The All Music Guide to Jazz, which reprinted Braurer’s review, marked the album as a landmark recording.
