Hi!
No, that would be Don Cherry the hockey player (I cannot rememeber which team he played for, but he did coach the Bruins). Regardless, he is by far better known as a "colour commentator" for NHL Hockey. Out of curiosity, who is Don Cherry the trumpet player?

Don Cherry the trumpet player was part of Ornette Coleman's first jazz quartet, with Ornette, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins. He was responsible for many classic works of improvised music, such as "Symphony for Improvisers" and "The Avant-Garde" recordings with John Coltrane. Don Cherry is also the father of pop musicians Neneh Cherry and Eagle Eye Cherry.
Thanks for asking!
