In EXTRA, three of contemporary music’s most fearless improvisers collide in a sonichigh-speed chase that redefines what a jazz trio can be. Far from revisiting standardsor offering tidy interplay, the group constructs an explosive, multilayered languagewhere glitchy electronics, hardcore grooves, and unruly textures crash into oneanother—often within a single phrase. The band fuses Evans’ sculptural trumpet vocabularies with Eldh’s hyperactive bassplaying and Jim Black’s volatile rhythmic outbursts. The result is a kinetic, shape-shifting sound world where every moment is packed with risk and surprise. Eachmusician pushes the others into new terrain: Evansfires compressed bursts of soundor labyrinthine melodic spirals, Eldh loops, twists, and distorts the pulse, while Blacktriggers acoustic and electronic ruptures that defy easy categorization.Described as “relentless in the best way” (Free Jazz Collective), EXTRA creates musicthat is at once deeply technical and gleefully anarchic. It is a band with no brakes,where even moments of silence feel charged with potential energy. Their debutalbum,EXTRA (2024, We Jazz Records), has been called “one of the best jazz records of the year” (Monolith Cocktail), celebrated for its urgent pace and wild, genre-bending unpredictability. EXTRA isn’t just a band—it’s a dare. For listeners ready to be hurled into the unexpected, this trio offers the thrill of pure musical combustion, with no safety net in sight.
