    Pianist/vibraphonist Karl Berger, a long-time associate of Cherry’s and founder of the Creative Music Studio where Cherry developed many of his musical treasures, will present an all-star ensemble featuring musicians who performed and studied with the late innovator. Berger’s “In the Spirit of Don Cherry” will carry the exuberant quality of Cherry's music while performing early Cherry compositions including “Symphony for Improvisers”, the seminal 1966 recording in which Berger participated. Pianist, vibraphonist, composer and arranger Karl Berger (b.1935) is a six time winner of the Downbeat Critics Poll as a jazz soloist, and recipient of numerous composition awards including commissions by the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts and the Rockefeller Foundation. Together with Ornette Coleman and Ingrid Sertso he founded the legendary Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, New York.
