About the artist

Don Cherry (Donald Eugene Cherry, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, November 18, 1936 - October 19, 1995) was an American jazz trumpeter. Don Cherry gained notoriety in the late 1950s through legendary Ornette Coleman recordings featuring Cherry's cornet and trumpet playing (sometimes featuring his playing of novel horns); including The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959) and Free Jazz (1961), the latter of which bred an entirely new sub-genre of jazz itself. After leaving Coleman and playing with John Coltrane on The Avant-Garde (1961)
