Neneh Cherry
Sheryl Garratt, The Face, September 1996
WHEN NENEH CHERRY was a toddler, she met Miles Davis. She remembers his gravelly growl of a voice, and recalls him opening his trumpet case to bring out a Toblerone for her. Later, she would go to Ornette Coleman's loft in Manhattan and watch him rehearse, fascinated by the fact that his young son played alongside on the drums.
