About this product

Drummer and bandleader Jim Black has been one of the most influential figures in progressive jazz since the nineties. In this new formation, Black brings together the young musicians Asger Nissen, Julius Gawlik, 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. Many influences and ideas come together without ever resorting to genre-hopping. InchThe music thrives on immediacy, and in some ways it's a visceral rejection of any kind of passivityInch,writes Peter Margasak in the liner notes.

Jim Black & The Schrimps - Better You Don't   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Better You Don't is Jim Black & The Schrimps' second . And what a it is! Led by mastermind Jim Black, the quartet celebrates multi-layered jazz with haunting intensity, stylistic openness, rhythmic explosiveness, and intoxicating energy. In this formation, Jim Black brings together the Berlin saxophonists Asger Nissen Julius Gawlik and bassist Felix Henkelhausen, who are among the most original and articulate voices in 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. Jim Black is one of those important drummers, like Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Paul Motian, who not only shine as instrumentalists but also repeatedly form groups with primarily younger musicians in order to try out new material and achieve creative heights. Cast off and have fun!
