Tip! *Limited to 300 copies. [ahad] plays on 33rpm, [wahid] on 45rpm and with a locked groove. In process of stocking* On the 6th of September 2017 I experienced [Ahmed] for the first time. Celebrating the launch of their first LP – New Jazz Imagination at Café OTO, Dalston, London. 

Seated at our favourite table, the cheeseboard, me and my good friend John witnessed the telepathy and synchronicity between Pat Thomas, Joel Grip, Antonin Gerbal and Seymour Wright. Intensity, energy, raw power and an endless groove. My immediate thought was, if I ever have to explain what I believe is real jazz, this is it, and I still feel the same when I listen to [Ahmed] live or on record this very day.  Little did we know that we would be part of the production of their second LP, Super Majnoon released on Café OTO´s own label Otoroku in 2019.

Pat Thomas – piano
Antonin Gerbal – drum-kit
Joel Grip – double-bass
Seymour Wright – alto saxophone
