The Near Jazz Experience - Tritone (2025)

Dimple Discs is pleased to announce its first release from the Near Jazz Experience. They play wildly improv but tuneful music - cross Can's rhythm section with Roland Kirk, and Motown and you'll get close to where The NJE is coming from. These are three musicians at the top of their game. Hint of soundtracks for spaghetti westerns and Bollywood only enriches the mix! The Near Jazz Experience are Terry Edwards on saxes and trumpets.
