Shimri is the second album by Norwegian jazz bassist and composer Arild Andersen, recorded in October 1976 and released on ECM the following year. Andersen's quartet features saxophonist Juhani Aaltonen, pianist Lars Jansson, and drummer Pål Thowsen.[1]
The AllMusic review by Jim Todd states, "On Shimri, musical release floats in suspension, grooves are coyly offered then withdrawn, swing is used sparingly, subtly, making only an occasional splash in the ripples of intimate conversation among the members of Arlid Andersen's outstanding quartet."[2]
