Fronted by bluesy, bustling saxophonist Ed Jones and punchy, fluent trumpeter Damon Brown, Killer Shrimp play a modernistic take on hard bop. It’s inspired by the pianoless quartets of Ornette Coleman and Gerry Mulligan, and driven by the remorselessly funkified drumming of Troy Miller (a Soweto Kinch regular). There are nods to drum ’n’ bass and low-slung funk alongside spacious ballads, but enough meaty interplay between the two horns to get the jazz heads nodding.
