Albums of 2012 - 9. Neneh Cherry & The Thing - The Cherry Thing

9. NENEH CHERRY & THE THING - THE CHERRY THING


There are so many styles of jazz, sometimes lilting and somethimes thundering, packed into this collaborative effort between soul/pop legend Neneh Cherry and Scandinavian improv jazz band The Thing.

The best thing here was that it came as a complete surprise, felt like it came from the vaults, even though it was contemporary. There have not been many jazz albums on my lists over the years, but I hope this will provoke a bit more movement in that genre, around these parts, in this bolognaise.
