Jimmy Halperin, John Engels, Thomas Winther Andersen
Excitement From Underground

Om utgivelsen

This electrifying trio recording was captured in 1996 in the intimate confines of John Engels’ underground studio in Amsterdam. For decades, it circulated unofficially as a treasured bootleg among musicians and jazz aficionados. Tunes like Sweet Georgia Brown, Ghost of a Chance, Devil May Care, and Indiana are reimagined through sophisticated improvisation and intricate new melodic lines. The result is a refreshing perspective on familiar repertoire. Notably, Halperin’s pioneering use of sound effects on his tenor saxophone adds an experimental layer to the session, deeply influencing the group’s interaction and creating a distinctive sonic atmosphere.
