apa ini
The well-known trap drum set evolved in the United States from originally African percussion instruments. Apa Ini, tenor saxophonist and clarinettist Tobias Delius' new group, does not have a drummer, but Senegalese Serigne C.M. Gueye plays a collection of percussion instruments from his home continent. This gives him a different role from the average drummer: his parts are rhythmically looser, which emancipates him to soloist status, and his fellow musicians - bassist Wilbert de Joode and British trombonist Hilary Jeffery - are given a more rhythmic role than usual. The result is an exciting and remarkably free vision of jazz and improvised music which stays far from what we have come to understand as world music, and cleverly combines musical points of view from various parts of the world.
