Jim Black

• trifold digipak edition

Drummer and bandleader Jim Black has been one of the most influential figures in progressive jazz since the nineties. With this formation The Schrimps, Black brings together the young musicians Asger Nissen, Julius Gawlik, and Felix Henkelhausen, who are among the most original and articulate voices of European jazz innovation, with the same basic instrumentation as two of the greatest bands Black has propelled and helped shape from behind the kit: Tim Berne's Bloodcount and the collective Endangered Blood. The music of this energetic quartet has a feverish intensity and from the first note the quartet's music goes straight for the jugular.
