"An
expressive instrumentalist, Cherry has a hip, melodic approach that is a
refreshing contrast to guitarists who frequently resort to playing
'finger music', the execution of rapid streams of notes that serve no
musical purpose other than to fill space"- Jim Ferguson: Jazztimes -

"Un
instrumentista expresivo, Cherry tiene un enfoque moderno y melódico
que supone un refrescante contraste con los guitarristas que a menudo
recurren a tocar "música de dedos", la ejecución de rápidas secuencias
de notas que no tienen otro propósito musical que el de llenar el
espacio"- Jim Ferguson: Jazztimes - 06/02
