The legendary Blue Roses now available. In 1988, Cherry and Man Parrish wrote this intriguing jazz-edged poetry piece to benefit a grass-roots charity that Cherry was working with at the time, Children In Crisis. It was performed live, with Barb Morrison on sax, for two nights at Capito restaurant in Manhattan, where photographs by Cherry were on exhibition.

The trio made this quickie recording of it at Parrish's studio in Brooklyn, in order to raise additional charity money, via sales of cassettes, at the live shows. Unfortunately, the master tapes went missing long ago, but thanks to a well-worn cassette saved by the show's director, Tony Zanetta, and digitally remastered by Man Parrish, we can now make this little piece of history available for your enjoyment. Please excuse the less than perfect sound quality, and enjoy the journey nonetheless.
