In 2013 Peruvian-born flautist Daniel Manrique-Smith, bassist Ben Tai Trawinski, guitarist Johann May and drummer Nico Stallmann started up Jin Jim. In their first year as a band they were voted through by the public into the the finals of the JazzTube Festival in Bonn.


In the following year, the quartet won the „Future Sounds“ competition at the Leverkusener Jazztage festival out of afield of nearly 200 entrants, and also released their first album „Die Ankunft“(The Arrival). Their meteoric ascent is based on the innovation which they bring to the music.

Latin, jazz and rock all collide here with maximum impact. The group’s repertoire, has set out their essential direction: „Rhythmically highlycomplex yet harmonically accessible, and with influences ranging from flamenco to Indian music and pop.“

In February 2018 they went into the studio to record „Weiße Schatten“. Jin Jim showed once again how refined and individual their sound is.

Many live shows around the world and a global pandemic later, 2023 finally follows a new album with which Jin Jim have once again outdone themselves: New Choices.
