Neneh Cherry, the stepdaughter of jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, has made herself heard in a very special way over the years. She is not someone who walks the path of least resistance and often speaks out in an extreme way. In the eighties, for example, she was a singer with the anarchist punk funk company Rip, Rig & Panic. In the nineties she tried to build a commercial career with the biggest hit
… Buffalo Stance. In 1994 she scored another big hit with the African singer Youssou N'Dour with Seven Seconds. After this, in addition to a few guest appearances, she devoted all her time to her family life. However, in 2012 she is back in a way that her father would have been proud of. With the help of the Scandinavian free jazz trio The Thing, she continues her father's ideas. Raw free jazz that will not be easy for everyone to follow, but for the fans a treat that grows with every listen. Raw, uncompromising and extravagant. (AD)more
