“From the time he was a very young man, Don Cherry was one of the greatest pioneers of our music, and he always will be. A magnificent musical aesthete, his gifts led many other musicians in that category to develop and display their own natural gifts.  I and many others are forever indebted to Don Cherry.  His music continues to live in us all.” -- With love and respect, Henry Grimes

“I met Don shortly after he came to NY with Ornette. While I never knew him as well as I would have liked, his work on the instrument served as a repository of information and a source of inspiration. In my opinion, Don's best work has to be included with the work of the innovational performers on the instrument.”  -- Bill Dixon
