German saxophonist Daniel Erdmann possesses the rare quality of sounding extraordinarily contemporary, while at the same time giving the impression of being constantly at the very heart of jazz and its history, with a full, deep sound and a phrasing that is by turns fluid, mobile, balanced and, in the moment, skilfully deconstructed. Choosing to revisit the fundamentals of the archetypal “organ trio”, the preferred vehicle of soul jazz in the 60s and 70s, Erdmann engages in an exciting trialogue with Jim Hart's pulsating, nuanced drums and Antonin Rayon's sensualist yet abstract Hammond B3 organ. Their Organic Soulfood takes us on a fabulous journey to the roots of jazz, a music that is at once learned, erudite and resolutely contemporary in its energies and forms.
