This collaboration came about as Paul Dunmall had heard some of Roman Mints’ records and after meeting at a concert which they both did with Brian Irvine Ensemble, he invited him to record an album of improvisation with him. The album is named ‘Exodus’ because it is a departure from what Roman Mints was recording before, it is a ‘liberation’ in the way it is performed, all spontaneous with Roman using a lot of extending techniques including detuning the violin to expand the range. For thirty years Paul Dunmall has carved out a reputation for himself and is now widely recognized as one of the most uncompromising and talented reed players on the international jazz/improvised music scene. Whether playing in small groups or big bands his musical sensitivity and imagination combined with a powerful sound make him one of the most distinctive improvisers playing today.
