the hamburg acid-jazz troupe known as disjam increasingly slanted
their instrumental talents toward the electronica and trip-hop
crowds. formed in the early '90s, the band came together around
keyboard player ralf petter, bassist sascha panknin, percussionist
oliver schumacher, guitarist volker kurnoth, and reed player ole
janssen. the collective soon became popular on the continental
acid-jazz scene, and recorded their self-titled debut album in
1995 (it also earned american distribution through instinct's this
is acid jazz series). gradually shedding instrumentalists as the
focus turned to electronic music and dance-jazz fusion, disjam
recorded three albums for yo mama, often with help from vocalists
(the 1996 album phuturing the poetry of lemn sissay was a
collaboration with sissay, a manchester poet). in 1998, the band
-- basically down to a trio of panknin, petter, and schumacher,
plus new addition christoph kähler on vocals (occasionally) and
guitar -- signed to shadow records and released return of the
manchurian. once again distributed in america, disjam returned in
2000 with hybrid honey.
