About the Concert
+ Support: Jimmy Trash DJ-Set
"Jimi Tenor has recorded a second album with the Berlin label Philophon: "Aulos".
"Aulos" is an organic work, recorded mainly with acoustic instruments. The core recording group was the same as on the acclaimed predecessor "Order of Nothingness" (PH33003): Ekow Alabi Savage on drums, percussion and backing vocals, Maxy Weissenfeldt on drums and percussion and Master Jimi on flute, saxophone, keyboards and vocals.
For some pieces, the horn section was supplemented by the outstanding musicians Johannes Schleiermacher on baritone saxophone and flute and Johannes Böhmer on trumpet.
The Berlin Philophon studio where the album was recorded is full of unusual instruments: Vintage keyboards, exotic string instruments, African percussion, even a whole gamelan orchestra could have been used. For Jimi, it is a place of inspiration every time he enters the hallowed halls of the studio in Kreuzberg, as exotic sound generators have always been his passion.
Jimi gets many of his ideas when he walks around in the forest in his native Finland and collects mushrooms. The forest is a complex organism and Jimi has tried to reflect this complexity in "Aulos". Sometimes more is more!
"Aulos" was produced by Philophon boss Maxy Weissenfeldt and mixed at leisure in his new studio in Ghana. Sound engineer was, as on the previous Jimi Tenor album, the legendary equipment and cable wizard Stibbo Spitzmüller.
Jimi Tenor will once again bring his big band to Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie to present "Aulos" live after his brilliant debut in 2019. It will once again feature an all-star line-up, who will also play a selection of Jimi's classics from his now 30-plus years of work." Lyrics: Miooow Music Agency
