CD

Roman's new CD EXODUS (with Paul Dunmall, soprano saxophone) will be released on QUARTZ on 28 July 2008.

This collaboration came about as Paul Dunmall had heard some of Roman Mints' records and after meeting at a concert which they both did with Brian Irvine Ensemble, he invited him to record an album of improvisation with him.

The album is named 'Exodus' because it is a departure from what Roman Mints was recording before, it is a 'liberation' in the way it is performed, all spontaneous with Roman using a lot of extending techniques including detuning the violin to expand the range.

For thirty years Paul Dunmall has carved out a reputation for himself and is now widely recognized as one of the most uncompromising and talented reed players on the international jazz/improvised music scene. Whether playing in small groups or big bands his musical sensitivity and imagination combined with a powerful sound make him one of the most distinctive improvisers playing today.
