Nima & Merge were one of this years festival highlights, a superb fusion of jazz, world music. The simplicity of the trio lent itself to allowing full reign to the expansive dynamic range and potential of the Chapman stick played by Nima Rezai, complimented by the beautifully melodic saxophone of Dan Heflin and the polyrhythmic wall of sound provided by Brad Ranola on drums. Merge played for jazz On the streets at Trafalgar Square, Covent garden piazza, Paddington recreation ground, Soho Square and carnaby Street. The director recommends this band for any jazz festival world music or fusion event. -David Gilbert |
