With an instantly identifiable sound and an inventive approach, Jim Black is a peerless performer on drums and electronics. Through composition and performance Jim threads the gap between improvisation, rock, and jazz, always finding his way to the most musical line. Jim has propelled the groups of Dave Liebman, Tim Berne, Dave Douglas among many others. Black currently leads two groups of vastly divergent repertoire. Jim’s innovative sax/guitar/drum trio Alas No Axis develops post rock themes with inventive improvisations while the self titled Jim Black Trio re-imagines the piano trio for the 21st century.
