About the Book:
Eternal Rhythm: Conversations & Travelations with Don Cherry offers an intimate, free-flowing portrait of a legendary improviser and musical visionary. Drawn from priceless cassette-taped interviews gathered since 1979, the book is woven together by writer Graeme Ewens—a confidant, travel companion, and close friend of Cherry. Through Ewens’ vivid storytelling and Cherry’s own reflections, Eternal Rhythm traces a life lived in constant motion—artistically, spiritually, and geographically. The result is an unfiltered insight into the evolution and working life of a musician globally recognized as one of the most unique, innovative voices to emerge from the Sixties free-jazz movement. It’s a rich exploration of creativity without borders, capturing the essence of Cherry’s expansive global musical journey.
