Description
Wise In Time - The Ballad Of Den The Men
Wise in Time is the latest brainchild of the prodigious Ian Simmonds (the visionary UK artist whose previous, largely-instrumental nu-jazz albums as Juryman were unanimously acclaimed). By combining folk guitars, electric pianos, jazz tangents and electronic textures with his inimitable voice and inspired, sharp lyrics, he's created a highly inebriating mixture which practically define a new genre. To create this new project, Ian has moved to the easternmost part of Germany and settled in the small town of Jena (which, appropriately, was both the cradle of the German Romantic movement – Goethe and Schiller lived there- and of precision optics), where he recuited four very young & talented musicians to form the Wise in Time band.
Reviews
Press quotes on previous Juryman albums:“One of Britain’s most vital talents” (Mojo, UK).
"It’s like all the best bits of Gil Scott-Heron, Red Snapper and Ry Cooder rolled together, it bristles with widescreen energy, bustles with gorgeous flurries of funky rhythms... Elegant, deep, complex and constantly surprising"(Muzik, UK)
“One of the inventors of today’s sound, alongside Moby, Tricky or Howie B” (Le Monde, France)
