Dr. Mint – Beyond the Void

December 1, 2017

Daniel Rosenboom – Trumpet
Gavin Templeton – Saxophones
Alexander Noice – Electric Guitar and FX
Sam Minaie – Electric Bass and FX
Caleb Dolister – DrumsThe companion album for their January 2017 vinyl release, “Voices In The Void,” DR. MiNT’s “Beyond The Void” takes you, well, beyond! With expansive vision, improvisational daring, and stylish aesthetic, this music delves into the realm of the subconscious. Each song is the result of spontaneous collective inspiration. DR. MiNT’s signature sound is produced through a combination of pure improvisation, and real-time notation of melodic content. With a rhythm section rooted in drum ‘n’ bass and heavy rock, and horn soloists pushing the edges of experimental jazz, the band creates their own universe, held together by the dark matter of intuitive mental connection.

This album and it’s companion were recently awarded 4 Stars by the prestigious jazz magazine, DownBeat.
