Nineties pop-pickers remember Cherry’s adventurous hip-hop hits, but her apprenticeship with Bristol’s Roland Kirk inspired beatniks Rip Rig And Panic, and a childhood spent with her stepfather the trumpeter Don Cherry, make her the ideal collaborator for the Scandinavian free jazz trio The Thing, interpreting fifties and sixties New Thing, and seventies American sleaze punk, source material.
Her swinging vocals on The Stooges’ Dirt, for example, coax the saxophonist Mats Gustafsson into an uncharacteristically louche lope.
The unprocessed Cherry sounds sushi raw, and her free-blowing players scrabble enthusiastically at the set’s wobbly melodic fencing.
