About The Event
In EXTRA, three of contemporary music’s most fearless improvisers collide in a sonic
high-speed chase that redefines what a jazz trio can be. Far from revisiting standards
or offering tidy interplay, the group constructs an explosive, multilayered language
where glitchy electronics, hardcore grooves, and unruly textures crash into one
another—often within a single phrase.
The band fuses Evans’ sculptural trumpet vocabularies with Eldh’s hyperactive bass
playing and Jim Black’s volatile rhythmic outbursts. The result is a kinetic, shape-
shifting sound world where every moment is packed with risk and surprise. Each
musician pushes the others into new terrain: Evans fires compressed bursts of sound
or labyrinthine melodic spirals, Eldh loops, twists, and distorts the pulse, while Black
triggers acoustic and electronic ruptures that defy easy categorization.
Described as “relentless in the best way” (Free Jazz Collective), EXTRA creates music
that is at once deeply technical and gleefully anarchic. It is a band with no brakes,
where even moments of silence feel charged with potential energy. Their debut
album, EXTRA (2024, We Jazz Records), has been called “one of the best jazz records
of the year” (Monolith Cocktail), celebrated for its urgent pace and wild, genre-
bending unpredictability.
EXTRA isn’t just a band—it’s a dare. For listeners ready to be hurled into the
unexpected, this trio offers the thrill of pure musical combustion, with no safety net
in sight.
