The German-French star saxophonist, Daniel Erdmann's new organ trio balances classical jazz with a modern sound.

Renowned for his playing that ranges from nuanced, mellow sounds to a deliberately rough tone and his subtle humour, Daniel Erdmann's bands always gather playful and highly skilled musicians. This is also the case with Organic Soulfood, in which his long-standing bandmate Jim Hart replaces the vibraphone with a drum kit to create dynamic and changeable grooves, while Antonin Rayon (Hammond organ) appears as a new collaborator alongside the saxophonist. Rayon, who has become well-known as the musical partner of Dominique Pifarély and Marc Ducret, brings the soul-like atmosphere often associated with his instrument to perfection - a spiritual overtone that partly inspired the band's name -, but the timbres, harmonies and bass lines, which are sometimes abstract and sometimes almost electronic, make his playing atypical enough to never become predictable.
Daniel Erdmann has been honoured with many of the jazz world's most prestigious awards, such as the Echo Jazz Prize, the Deutscher Jazzpreis and the SWR Jazz Prize. For almost a decade, the saxophonist has maintained a close and intensive working relationship with BMC Records. He appears alongside Aki Takase on four albums: as a member of the band Japanic (2019 and 2024), on the duo album Isn't It Romantic? (2021) and on the recording of Carmen Rhapsody (2023). Also recently released on the label is Nothing Else, the latest CD by his trio with Vincent Courtois and Robin Fincker. The saxophonist's most successful band to date is Velvet Revolution, whose debut album A Short Moment of Zero G (2016) won the German music critics' award for best album of the year in 2017, among many other prizes, and whose success has continued with their next two albums (Won't Put No Flag Out, 2019; Message in a Bubble, 2023). Erdmann's tenth BMC Records album is also in preparation, featuring the German-French jazz sextet Thérapie de Couple, which he has founded at the joint commission of the Jazzahead! showcase and Jazzdor Festival.
