Description
Follow up album from Killer Shrimp, the critically acclaimed and Parliamentary Jazz Award winning group.
Killer Shrimp is the collaboration of two of Europe's leading jazz musician's trumpeter Damon Brown and saxophonist Ed Jones. Following their acclaimed 2006 debut, the pair introduce producer/engineer, Joe Leach as their "Sound Gardener" to reconstruct raw material using the studio as a compositional tool.
Their dazzling compositions take in funk, reggae, rock and drum'n'bass, with Brown adding vocals to two tracks. Improvisers to the core, Killer Shrimp's expressive, powerful playing is akin to the hard bop swing tradition of the 50's, yet ultimately, it is the thoroughly contemporary approach that makes this ensemble inventive, engaging and exciting. Featuring Mark Hodgson on bass and Alyn Cosker on drums plus guests, bassist Geoff Gascoyne and Cinematic Orchestra's drummer, Luke Flowers.
