Ray Anderson / Han Bennink / Christy Doran - Cheer Up
Han Bennink is the man who laid down the drums on the epoch-making Machine Gun. Christy Doran sees no reason to choose between African folksong, Jimi Hendrix fire, avant-wiggery and ecstatic space guitar sounds when he can combine all four in the same song. And Ray Anderson - well, Ray Anderson is so hardcore that he plays jazz tuba. For all of this reasons, any many more besides, you will love the title track from their 1995 album Cheer Up, which is so loose that it's tight. It's like some animatronic theme park ride, compressing the extraordinary distance the trio cover into eight short minutes. Breathtaking.
