Eternal Now is an album by trumpeter Don Cherry recorded in 1973 and released on the Swedish Sonet label.[1]
The album was reissued by Sonet on CD in 1996, paired with Live Ankara, with the title The Sonet Recordings.[2]
The AllMusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4 stars stating "the whole point is to explore new musical possibilities and commonalities among cultures. While the results do meander occasionally, Eternal Now on the whole remains a fresh, unpredictable listen."[3]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "Aficionados of the Scandinavian scene will cherish a track featuring the great tenorist Bernt Rosengren on tarogato... 'Love Train' is perhaps the most jazz-based piece on the session. The remaining tracks are squarely in the world music idiom that Cherry was to make his own in years to come."[4]
