Kneipen Rally Bilk - Jonpriml

Groovy beats from Essen, direct and undisguised

JONPRIML is a quintet that combines modern jazz with urban energy - accessible, multi-layered and always with a pinch of Ruhrgebiet charm. The band combines technical finesse with a deep joy of playing that unfolds just as much live as on record. The result: music that doesn't shy away from complex arrangements, but always stays in your gut - not just in your head.

Following the release of their debut album and accompanying singles, JONPRIML have made a name for themselves in the scene: among jazz lovers who pay attention to detail as well as a younger audience looking for beats and stage presence. The band regularly works with guests from the local music scene - from rap to soul - and thus creates an open sound that deliberately avoids genre boundaries.

Live, JONPRIML impresses with its intense presence: sometimes instrumental and powerful, sometimes with vocal features and freestyle elements - always honest, always genuine. Not a show concept, but a musical conversation that is constantly evolving.

JONPRIML stands for new jazz that knows no blinkers, but seeks encounters - both musical and human. A sound that lives instead of just functioning
