Terry Edwards Near Jazz Experience // Kafé Hærverk

Near Jazz Experience

“I could sit in awe of the talent on show here all day long.” - Neil Hodge Louder Than War
The NJE consists of multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards (Jimi Tenor, Hot Chip,
Spiritualized, Franz Ferdinand, Nick Cave, Gallon Drunk), bassist Mark Bedford
(Madness, Robert Wyatt, Nightingales, The Blockheads) and drummer Simon Charterton
(The Higsons, Alex Harvey, Zook) started out as a basic improvising trio playing a monthly
London residency and worked themselves up the ranks via The Roundhouse, Union
Chapel and prestigious dates in France and Norway to Daylight Music playing instrumental
music rooted in rock and the blues. “It's just that we use electronics and jazz instruments
to do it," says multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards.
A good example of this is Terry's trade-mark sound of playing two saxophones at the same
time. "I first heard that as a teenager on Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick by Ian Dury and
The Blockheads rather than Roland Kirk, the godfather of the technique." Drummer Simon
Charterton's influences are Little Feat, The Grateful Dead and Krautrock, and Mark
Bedford is the bassist of Madness so there's a really broad church of inspiration bubbling
away here, which is truly not that far away from jazz as the band’s tongue-in-cheek name
suggests.
