Jimi Tenor – Shkmies

Description

With Shkmies, Jimi Tenor released his legendary solo debut in 1994 on Puu, a spin-off of theFinnish label Shk Recordings founded by Tommi Grnlund and Mika Vainio in 1993. Recordedin Tenor’s former home in New York, the album offers a previously unheard mixture of drummachine driven, electronic sounds and Sun Ra-inspired jazz. Written, recorded and producedentirely by Tenor in his apartment, the pieces have lost none of their spontaneous, roughcastcharm to this day.

The record combines lo-fi electronics with Jimi Tenor’s typical smoky saxophone playing,offering a fascinating listening experience that documents an artist who is full of curiosityand the joy of experimentation.

For the 30th anniversary of Shkmies, Bureau B is thrilled to make this special albumavailable again on LP and CD.
