Eric Dahlman & the JMDE Quartet now with Jimmy Zhao on multiple Chinese instruments, viola, etc.


These are Important musicians and concepts contributing to the Boston and Beyond free-form music scene for many a year—not often in the limelight—they incorporate ideas and sounds taken from contemporary music that doesn’t fit on the same stage necessarily as “traditional” avant garde (i.e Jazz). . Each player hails from a different background, and combines their skills with the singular goal of creating emotive compositions, spontaneously.


Unrehearsed and creative music ala Free-Jazz, Free-Rock, Electronics and Experimental Sounds that are “serious fun” you just don’t hear often (enough), liberated from any stylistic and melodic shackles. Thus the quartet combines and breaks apart elements of Chinese and other ethnic folk, free jazz, modern classical with occasional electro acoustic ambient soundscapes, such as with the Trumpet dappled with percussion, electronics, field recordings, ethnic folk. Influences: Miles, Bjork, Jon Hassell, etc
