Spectacular
international band led by alto sax phenomenon from London, featuring American drummer Eric
Harland. ‘A collision of hip jazz virtuosity and surrealism’ (The Guardian).

Never Group is making name in the London club circuit with
exciting, unpredictable performances. Russian-born alto saxophonist Zhenya
Strigalev gathers musicians around him who are able to follow his surprising
and often high-speed turns. At the Bimhuis his band includes bass guitarist
Linley Marthe (Joe Zawinul Syndicate) and drummer Eric Harland (Dave Holland,
McCoy Tyner), among others. Recent YouTube-clips show what the group has in
store: inimitable jazz and funk grooves that stir op the audience.

‘The Russian musician knows how to create an
ease and pleasant nature in those around him, inspiring everyone to their very
best’ (Downbeat).

‘Strigalev’s alto displays bebop agility,
shivery lyricism, or sometimes a bluesy Ornetteish swerve’ (The Guardian).

The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
