The creative calculus involved in constructing a musical tribute to an influential icon can be complex. Such projects run the risk of becoming exercises in weighing one’s own impulses against those conjectured of the honoree to diminishing returns. Fortunately, when it comes to Kirk Knuffke the question isn’t whether he’s worthy of putting his stamp on the songbook featured on Cherryco, but rather why such a project took so long in gestation and offing. His track record with tributes, most often in the company of pianist Jesse Stacken, is extensive with the repertoires of Ellington, Mingus and others well-served. Don Cherry’s entry into that elevated cadre makes perfect sense.
