Event Details
Innovative band from the Berlin avant-garde featuring members of, among others, Hyperactive Kid and Der Rote Bereich, performing compositions from the album Sun Ship.
Philm is founded by tenor saxophonist/composer Philipp Gropper from Berlin, who has previously performed at the Bimhuis with acclaimed trio Hyperactive Kid. His compositions transcend existing styles and genres and simultaneously carry forth the energy of past improvised music.
Philm’s new album Sun Ship is named after the eponymous John Coltrane composition, but sounds completely different, with angular, criss-crossing rhythms set against clearly formulated tenor progressions. The members of Philm have played in influential bands such as Der Rote Bereich, Atomic and Jim Black Trio.
The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 till 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
