ENTRANCE: 7/5€ WHERE: KingKongKlub | Brunnenstr. 173, Berlin | www.king-kong-klub.de &KIM 3 live trance jazz improvisation performanceTIME: May 9th 21:00
ENTRANCE: free WHERE: Peppi Guggenheim | Weichselstr. 7, Neukölln | peppi-guggenheim.de KIM stands for Kay, Ignaz and Mike – the first names of, respectively, Degner *drums,Schick*alto sax; and Hentz *Jews harps – a trio of musicians living and working in Berlin, DE. KIM is two generations of German cutting edge music, and a myriad of different musical worlds, united under the same umbrella by shamanic trance master Mike Hentz. Kay, the K, comes from the world of psychedelic rock (most famously drumming since the 90s with Mamasweed). Ignaz, the I, is a virtuoso alto saxophonist (and analog electronics wizard elsewhere), respected for his solo work and collaborations with minimalist composer legend Charlemagne Palestine (USA). And the M, Mike Hentz, has made his mark in the realms of art, punk/new wave, experimental (with Bob Rutman and Faust‘s H.-J. Irmler) and world fusion (with Cologne Music Connection).
Together, KIM weave their influences into a unique mix, going through and beyond styles, but always grooving, swinging and creating melodies. Theirs is the music for our hips, feet and (hopefully, lost) mind, taking us along for a rollercoaster ride, Berlin underground crazy style, 21st century and all the way back and forth. And always 100% improvised in the spirit of the moment. Fasten your seatbelts and take a trip. LISTEN TO KIM: |
Sergei Kleyn is a writer, composer, artist and radio disk jockey with life-long passion for musical archeology. Born in the USSR and raised in the USA, he has then traveled the world with his craft, and is now residing in Berlin. Based in Ukraine and Russia for the past 10 years, he was a scene builder for adventurous music and arts.
In his DJ sets Sergei will take you on journey through geography and time, evoking the spirits of long-gone high priests of Delta blues, LA cool, NY be bop, Trinidad calypso, Americana, Paris chanson and Odessa proletarian jazz, conjuring up sounds from Siberian shamans to the funketeers to Afrobeat stompers, all the way down to burning Balkan brass orchestras, and then some.
