The profound influences of Buddhism and Hinduism have woven an intricate thread through the careers of many great artists, including iconic jazz musician Don Cherry. Much like a timeless melody, these ancient philosophies resonate in the hearts and works of creators across diverse disciplines.

From painters to poets, musicians to filmmakers, the transformative teachings of Buddhism and the rich mythological tapestry of Hinduism have served as wellsprings of inspiration. Don Cherry, stands as a testament to the impact of these spiritual traditions on artistic expression. His trumpet becomes a vessel, echoing the serene landscapes of Buddhist thought and infusing rhythmic mantras of Hinduism into musical compositions that transcend the boundaries of genre.
