Jimi Tenor

09.07.2003

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

Finnish Andy Warhol clone Jimi Tenor explores the virgin territories of contemporary music. A seasoned saxophonist, nonchalant songwriter, romantic singer, skilful arranger and soundtrack composer, the saccharin blonde has adapted to all genres with a weirdness that compels respect. Always avid for new trails to blaze, Jimi Tenor uses the artillery of crooners on his latest opus, entitled Higher Planes. Itinerant funk, disconcerting easy listening and imposing instrumentation, the formula of the new Tenor confirms his position as the indispensable UFO in the current musical landscape. (FFJM © 2003)
