Our Take

Don Cherry's Singles Collection from the 1950s is a wild ride through the early years of this jazz legend's career. This compilation captures the essence of Cherry's experimental spirit and showcases his innovative approach to music.

From the catchy hooks of "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" to the moody vibes of "Artists Life", Cherry proves he's a master of versatility. His trumpet playing is truly mesmerizing, effortlessly blending elements of bebop, Latin jazz, and avant-garde.

But what really sets this collection apart is Cherry's ability to surprise and delight with each new track. Just when you think you've figured him out, he throws a curveball with a quirky cover or an unexpected musical twist.

While some may dismiss Cherry's early work as simply commercial fodder, this collection proves that there's so much more to his music than meets the eye. Each song is like a little gem waiting to be discovered, showcasing Cherry's talent and creativity in all its glory.

In conclusion, Don Cherry's Singles Collection 1950-59 is a must-listen for any fan of jazz or music history. It's a testament to Cherry's artistry and a reminder of why he remains a legend in the industry. So sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a journey through the mind of a true musical genius.
