One of the towering figures of American music, Cherry was part of the revolutionary free-bop quartet led by Coleman, an ensemble that helped shift the conversation about jazz from chord changes and swing to freedom and energy.

The sessions that comprise Organic Music Society are varied and represent several directions in Cherry's oeuvre.
