After forming in 1999 as a Don Cherry recording project and taking their name from a track by the legendary trumpeter, Scandinavian garage jazz trio The Thing soon established themselves as one of the most important European jazz groups of today. Beside their own compositions, they play a wide range of energetic covers, from Albert Ayler to The Stooges, from Steve Lacy to PJ Harvey, collaborating with different artists (Joe McPhee, Pat Metheny, Neneh Cherry…). With dedicated fans in the rock, noise and jazz communities, The Thing continues walk the new, uncompromising paths. Finally, we get to see them at the Belgrade Jazz Festival!
