The More Socially Relevant Jazz Music Ensemble is a brand new all star quintet led by guitarist Reinier Baas, with influences ranging from Ravel to Tristano and from Ornette Coleman to Flying Lotus. The unusual line-up with two alto saxophonists, plus the thoughtful compositions and the unstoppable pulse of the outstanding rhythm section, form a solid foundation for experiment and improvisation. ‘An unaffected sound, bursting with pleasure. His soulful sound… conquers hearts’ (Volkskrant).
