On the album, Cherry is joined by four local musicians: saxophonist Mogens Bollerup, pianist Atli Bjørn, bassist Benny Nielsen, and drummer Simon Koppel. Cherry Jam helps to document the gap between Togetherness, recorded in the spring and summer of 1965 and released in 1966, and Complete Communion, recorded in December 1965 and released in 1966, and shows him in the midst of a transition from a sideman in the free jazz scene to a leader of his own bands.
