Too short, but choice.

Thanks Wilmer! What a beautiful and identifiable sound Don has. Great time too! Love Higgin's ride cymbal....

Ah, what a choice bit. Don could really play. Back in the late seventies I saw a band at the old Tin Palace doing a tribute to Clifford Brown. The trumpet players were Woody Shaw, Bill Hardman and Don Cherry playing trumpet like on this clip. He chased everybody off the stage. It was a revelation to me, he could play changes when he wanted to, he just didn't want to all the time.

That band with Rollins and Cherry toured Europe in early 1963, there are tapes floating around, and I think you can get all of their RCA stuff now too.

Don Cherry was such a strong musician I would always get this feeling in the pit of my stomach when he played, like with Miles and very few others. He could play piano too.
