23rd October 2016: Jazzwise Magazine premiers the new NEVER GROUP video from Zhenya Strigalev ahead of Spain shows this week

Jazzwise Magazine has premiered the new video from Zhenya Strigalev’s new trio NEVER GROUP featuring bassist Michael Janisch and drummer Marc Ayza ahead of their shows in Spain this week.

“[Never Group] … have unleashed a wild and wonderful take on the Glen Miller classic ‘In The Mood’. Turning the tune inside out with Moog-style effects on his sax alongside Janisch’s trippy walking bass and Ayza’s frenetic drums this is typical of the band’s irreverent humour and on-the-edge electronica fusion style.” – Jazzwise

Strigalev will also be appearing with a new high calibre incarnation of this band as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival consisting of in-demand UK pianist Ivo Neame (Phronesis), top US drummer Nasheet Waits and bassist Tarus Mateen (rhythm section for Jason Moran’s The Bandwagon), all appearing at Zigfrid Von Underbelly, London on 13 November. Never Group will be touring the UK again next March as well as performing dates in Russia early in the new year.
