Big Shit Posse is a Berlin-based jazzrock band founded by drummer and composer Aldtie Mann in the summer of 2019, consisting of a dynamic mix of class-act musicians from the Berlin jazz scene. The band creates an energetic sound by combining improvisation with stringently composed sketches, exploring a variety of genres while maintaining a close connection to their jazzrock roots. Their music incorporates electronic elements and draws inspiration from funk, blues, metal, and poetic textures. In addition to Aldtie Mann himself, the band features Peer Neumann on keyboards, Gerry Franke on guitar, Ritchie Müller on bass, and Paul Engelmann on reeds. The ensemble unfolds its compelling stage presence with raw, irresistible energy that attacks certain boundaries and yet others not, while invoking their own original music in the jazz-universe.
Until now, the band released their entire catalogue of 4 albums and 6 singles on Purple Eternity Records, which were all produced in close collaboration with ALH Music.

“Jazz should seek its fulfillment in the fusion of archaic-physical elements with spiritual-concentrative ones, and then redeem that live. This kind of evening entertainment, by the way, would be completely plausible in every village pub and on the biggest stages of the world.”
— Aldtie Mann
