Jan Brönnimann's Brinkmanship Jan Galega and his band Brink Man Ship venture into musical spheres between contemporary jazz influences and electronic rhythms. The result is a postmodern urban jazz sound with plenty of contrasts and touchy melodic lines. The music creates a tension of harmony and ruptures, reflecting the contradictions of modern life. Since its beginning jazz has stood for musical innovation and experiments with musical and rhythmic elements of diverse styles and cultural influences. The most recent compositions of Jan Galega and his band Brink Man Ship are a consequent continuation of this tradition of musical innovation as they explore new styles of their own. Brink Man Ship surprises with a unique mix of sounds, rhythms, melodies and the charismatic voice of Nya. The music is fresh, full of electric energy and hypnotic ostinati. From the first notes it becomes apparent that these musicians have a wide stylistic horizon and are able to play in a subtle and humorous way with musical quotes and influences. The effective use of electronic sounds and samples never slides into commercial monotony; it rather opens new musical impulses of jazz and electronic music in the 21 st century. The live gigs and communication with their audience have always been a great source of inspiration for Brink Man Ship. They are welcome quests at music clubs, jazz concert halls and festivals all around the world. Brink Man Ship are based in Switzerland and have captured audiences in their own country, in France, Austria, Germany, Canada, Norway, Danemarc, Finland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Baltic States and Jamaica. "...contemporary music, full of allusions and new electronic Dance Music Worlds, full of humour and vitality" that’s what Neue Zürcher Zeitung wrote about the concert at Schaffhausen Jazzfestival 2000.
