CARLOS BICA . DANIEL ERDMANN . DJ ILLVIBE „I Am The Escaped One“
Double bassist and composer Carlos Bica has carved out a jazz niche for himself with his inventive style of lyrical-indie-jazz. Among the several musical projects he leads, his trio AZUL has become his showcase as a bass player and composer. For more than twenty years Bica’s trio AZUL with Frank Möbus and Jim Black has fascinated its listeners. Living in Berlin, Portuguese Bica again and again creates a music that seems familiar yet excitingly new and personal at the same time.
With his new album “I Am the Escaped One” in association with two of the most idiosyncratic figures of the German scene, saxophonist Daniel Erdmann and turntablist DJ Illvibe, the music goes even beyond anything he did before.
Daniel Erdmann, a major voice in the European jazz scene, has developed an unique tenor sax sound in ensembles like Das Kapital or Velvet Revolution, built on top of the jazz tradition but committed to find new paths. DJ Illvibe is and remains a sound innovator, a gold digger for the craziest sound-shreds, Vincent von Schlippenbach is DJ Illvibe and the world is a record.
If you’re searching for something different and fulfilling you found it, “I Am the Escaped One” is the perfect soundtrack for the movie that still has to be made.

„I Am The Escaped One“ has been nominated for the "Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik“

...This is one of those very few cases where we do not feel any instrumental mismatch - the bass, the saxophone and the turntables are a cast I've never heard before...the three instruments are treated equally in an unconventional way to create a whole that escapes any easy comparison..."I Am the Escaped One" is an album to which I strongly encourage you to listen to, but it is worth to ventilate your head before, the joy of listening will be even greater! Rating: 5 Stars # K.S.

Portugese double bassist Carlos Bica joins forces with German saxophonist Daniel Erdmann and turntablist DJ Illvibe, the son of pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach, for a unique album of improvisation blending experimental and jazz approaches with substantive layers of genre-blending from Illvibe's record arsenal, all handled with accessible control and lyrical sophistication. # SquidCo

„I Am The Escaped One“, so der Titel der dieses Tages veröffentlichtes Album von Carlos Bica bezugnehmend auf einem Gedicht von Fernando Pessoa. Bica, dessen Name sich mit dem exzellenten Trio Azul assoziiert, brecht hier noch weiter im klanglisches Neuland acolagiert und holt Welt herein.“ # Bert Noglik (SWR2)
