This is the stunning debut album from Nico Finke, a top-class German saxophonist and composer. His groove-heavy compositions recall classic 70s jazz-funk, but with subtle influences such as soul, hip hop, and dubstep. This entertaining, varied album captures the attention of the listener and takes him on an adventure through beats and sounds. It will appeal not only to jazz lovers, but also soul/funk and electronic music fans. This album will help you to appreciate Finke’s talent beyond his homeland of Germany. Finke, who has been touring Europe and the USA since completing his studies, has been a sideman. He has also accompanied soul and jazz stars like Marva Whitney and Martha High. As a saxophonist, Finke won the Leverkusener Jazztage’s “Future Sounds Award”, and was a finalist in the Composition Contest for the HR Bigband. From www.propermusic.com
