DESCRIPTION:
Out now: New album "The Meeting" by "Deep Jazz", a young German Jazz Nonet, following in the footsteps of Coltrane, Mingus and other Blue Note / Impulse! artists.

The music of Munich bass player Jerker Kluge and his band "Deep Jazz" is deeply rooted in the jazz music of the 60ies, as released on legendary labels like "Impulse!" and "Blue Note".
The group now presents its second album "The Meeting" (Perfect Toy Records).
Gilles Peterson (BBC "Worldwide") voted 'Little Sunflower' (Freddie Hubbard / Leon Thomas) from the album on his all winners show 2011 as one of the best tracks of the year!

The group "Deep Jazz" recorded its second album in a new nonet formation. Leader and bassplayer Jerker Kluge wrote nine completely new compositions for the group, chose two classics of the genre for a new interpretation and arranged the material for the new exceptional and very special line-up.
Very special indeed are the two voice vocals, the horn section (flute/alto, tenor and bass-clarinet) as well as the concert harp. Together with the rhythm section and additional percussion, they form a unique line-up.
The musical core is the spiritual and modal jazz from the golden era of the 1960ies, but of course Kluge´s own musical ideas and influences are added, creating a very own musical cosmos, that is additionally spiced by the individual talents of the involved musicians.

The group offers the highly praised track 'Little Sunflower' as a free download on their website
