The Jimdangles

According to SNP Records,[4] The Jimdangles are "a quartet of jazz aficionados whose debut eponymous album features whisper-to-a-screaming-saxophone jazz working the outside fringes of the genre. You’ll hear elements of be bop and free jazz, but you’ll also catch snippets of Middle Eastern and other exotic sounds."
