Snapshots

Against the inexorable backdrop of climate change, jazz trombonist and composer Daniel Zimmermann's Snapshots album explores the errant ways of an age that at times evokes the 1930s, at others the fall of the Roman Empire - and, on darker days, the twilight of the dinosaurs. Rather than yielding to despair in these troubled times and offering listeners a rope to hang themselves, Zimmermann (trombonist for Claude Nougaro, Manu Dibango, and Tony Allen) playfully grants them another option - a humorous sarcasm!
