Jim Black / Jim & the Schrimps - Ain't No Saint
2023 CD release
2023 release
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. “The music thrives on immediacy, and in some ways it’s a visceral rejection of any kind of passivity”, writes Peter Margasak in the liner notes.
Asger Nissen: Alto Saxophone
Julius Gawlik: Tenor Saxophone
