Son

The link to Don Cherry's son "David Cherry" links to the artist, David A. Cherry. Is this the same person? I know that the artist has a sister C. J. Cherryh who is a science fiction and fantasy writer. I have no facts at hand, but I have never heard David or Carolyn mention a brother named "Eagle Eye." William Alan Ritch 04:58, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am now pretty sure they are not the same since I followed the biography link which had a picture of "Don Cherry." He and David Cherry, the artist are of two different races. Unless the artist is adopted I don't think that they are related. I will change the link to "David Cherry (musician)".

External links

At first sight, the external link http://www.jazzinstitut.de/Jazzindex/index-cherry-don.htm may appear to be in German, but scrolling down shows that the biography is in English, too, while the bibliography is entirely in English. Not all items listed in the bibliography are English publications, nevertheless I think that the link is useful for English readers. --BNutzer 06:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Instruments

Don Cherry is listed on this page as playing trumpet, but he did his most important work on pocket trumpet and cornet. I think that this should be noted somewhere. -- ET1985 03:50, 27 August 2007

Trilok Gurtu played with Don Cherry and dedicated "Genapati" with Neneh Cherry to him

Neneh Cherry plays with Trilok Gurtu on "Ganapati" on his "Khatak" album from 1998

From: http://www.trilokgurtu.net/biography.htm : Trilok Gurtu was born (...) in Bombay, India(...). He began to play practically from infancy at the age of six. Eventually Trilok traveled to Europe, joining up with trumpeter Don Cherry (father of Neneh and Eagle Eye) for two years (...).

This was in the seventies: From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilok_Gurtu In the 1970s he played with Charlie Mariano, John Tchicai, Terje Rypdal, and Don Cherry.

From http://www.trilokgurtu.net/new_release.htm : "Ganapati" recorded in 1998 from "Kathak" Mintaka Recordings The Kathak CD features Trilok in the company of his band at the time, The Glimpse. Ganapati features the voice of Neneh Cherry and is dedicated to the memory of her stepfather, the great innovative Jazz man, Don Cherry, who had been instrumental in bringing Trilok to the West. (...) "Neneh was almost in tears as she sang”.

Article title

Does anyone disagree with me renaming the article to "Don Cherry (musician)" from "Don Cherry (jazz)"?

--YUL89YYZ (talk) 19:10, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to be fair, one of the other Don Cherrys was involved in music too. So better just to let the Don Cherry disambiguation page take the strain and keep the underlying titles? AllyD (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with giving this article a disambiguation slug at all. This Don Cherry is unarguably more significant than the clownish hockey impressario; I'd suggest calling this simply "Don Cherry", and the other one "Don Cherry (hockey)". How are such things determined? Steambadger (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
