Description
Rather than yielding to despair in these troubled times and offering listeners a rope to hang themselves, Zimmermann (trombonist for Claude Nougaro, Manu Dibango, and Tony Allen) playfully grants them another option – a humorous sarcasm! He mocks the vain shelters of the powerful with the tune “My Little Sweet NZ Bunker”, denounces the manufacture of one- track minds with “Les maximiseurs de PI”, and escapism with the classic satirical Mose Allison’s song “Stop This World (let me off” (translated and sung in French) In more tender moments, he reflects on the intimate consequences of this global unraveling.
Daniel Zimmerman’s style, both as a composer and soloist, is that of a melodist above all else; disregarding concepts, he sings and seeks to go straight to the heart. He was voted ‘Trombonist of the Year’ by Jazz Magazine (Frances most influential jazz publication) in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
