Cult jazzman Don Cherry, who died in 1995, brought much good to the world. And that doesn't just mean his children Eagle-Eye Cherry and Neneh Cherry, but also his grandiose albums that oscillate between jazz and world music
Even if "Brown Rice" had been the trumpeter's only contribution to jazz, his place in the pantheon would be secure to this day. The 1975 album is a fat slice of psychedelic jazz-rock, incorporating blues and funk elements, as well as African, Indian and Middle Eastern influences
