Jazz on 3 - Tyft in Concert

Jez Nelson presents American-Icelandic trio Tyft in concert, featuring Reykjavik-based Hilmar Jensson on guitar, plus New Yorkers Jim Black (drums) and Andrew D'Angelo (reeds).

Jez Nelson presents American-Icelandic power trio Tyft in concert. Reykjavik based guitarist Hilmar Jensson explores the borders of jazz improvisation, melodic rock and distorted heavy metal in the company of New Yorkers Jim Black on drums and Andrew D'Angelo on reeds.

Jensson formed Tyft to develop musical ideas that originated during his time living in New York, having completed his studies at Berklee College of Music in the early 1990s. Renting a flat in Brooklyn during that time he formed a strong association with New York-based musicians such as Tim Berne, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Ben Monder, and the music of Tyft draws heavily on what has come to be called the downtown New York scene's distinctive sound-world.
