"SO WHAT!" - Don Cherry

[HEyHEY]

Cherry takes a stab at Canadian Hockey non-believers.

IN this case - fuckin' A right!

1. I didn't hear a word he said....

...I just can't get past the red velvet suit! hehe

[HEyHEY]

2. How about the one the other night?

Did you hear what McLean said Cherry sneezed and he says "You must be gettting hayfever from that suit"

3. this is totally silly

but once I was in Toronto with a group of people I worked with. My friend and I went off on our own and did all kinds of alt-stuff: book stores, women comedians, leather/bondage store ( just for amusement!), pool playing, bars, etc. Totally avoided all the conventional "touristy" stuff such as the sports arenas, since I had done all that other visits. Anyway, I get all excited near a record store, since I see a sign "Meet Don Cherry" assuming it was the great jazz trumpeter. (That is how I think) I was crushed to see a short, fat, white man yelling into a microphone. Hope that is not too insulting to Canadians, but I would have preferred to see the other Don Cherry.

Anyway, just thought I would tell you that since I am such a hockey fan ( sarc)- the Penguins are terrible this year. :)

5. Multikulti

I would have thought of jazz trumpeter Don Cherry also. I never heard of the hockey Don Cherry until now. That's pretty bizarre, like finding that there's a wrestler named Herbie Hancock or something.

The "real" Don Cherry's album "Multikulti" is one of my favorites. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform a few times, once with Ornette Coleman, another time as a duo with Nana Vasconcelos, and also in the wonderful trio Codona. He was a good pianist, also, and was a very good interpreter of Thelonious Monk.

OK, I'll go away now. Sorry for the off-topic comments. I found your post via a search of DU for jazz posts.

8. I love that album!!!

Wish I had been able to see Don before he died. He is on my list of those jazz I only wish I had seen. :( I did see the Art Ensemble and many other alt jazzers though, inluding Ornette! And CArmen and Dorothy DOnegan! Anyway.

:hi: fellow jazz afficianado!

look for posts by Chavez Speaks the Truth,, he posts some great jazz stuff.

9. LOL, I was tryingto figure out what Don Cherry

has to do with hockey too.

<ON EDIT> His son Eagle-eye Cherry is pretty good as well.

4. Don Cherry: The National Embarrassment

Oh, my god...why, of all the celebrities we've exported ton the US, did we not send Cherry?!

[FarLeftRage]

6. Awww... he's not so bad

kind of a ham, though.

7. Is there a US equivalent of hockey's Don Cherry?

hmmm...

10. Rush was angling for the title before he opened his mouth and...

inserted his foot. Then people realized he was on drugs.

11. Don't know, but

I heard a sportscaster back when I lived in Pittsburgh say that Don Cherry had about as much credibility in the sports world as Vince McMahon, so there you go.
