ABOUT NERVE:
The band NERVE evolved out of Jojo Mayer’s legendary party
event “Prohibited Beatz” in New York City during the late 1990s.
Initially a platform for experimental interaction between DJ culture,
electronic, and live music, the group ultimately brings the jazz
tradition of improvisation, innovation, driving rhythms, and stylistic evolution to the digital age. NERVE re-examines and transcends the relationship between human creativity and digital technology and has created a new form of musical expression, which is completely unique in the world today. Members of the band include Jojo Mayer on drums, John Davis on bass and low end manipulation, Jacob Bergson on keyboard and synthesizers, and Aaron Nevezie on sound and real time audio deconstruction.
Swiss born Jojo Mayer started playing drums at an early age. By age 18, he received his first international exposure when touring with Monty Alexander and backing up jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone. In the early 1990s, Mayer moved from Europe to New York City, where he performed with a wide range of artists in various styles. Artists that Mayer has performed with include The Screaming Headless Torsos, Meshell n’dege Occello, DJ Spooky, Emergency Broadcast Network, the Vienna Art Orchestra, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Harry Pepl, Gerald Veasley, John Zorn, George Adams, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, John Medeski, Leni Stern, Wolfgang Puschnigg, Friedrich Gulda, Harry Sokal, Steve Coleman’s 5 Elements, and Wah Wah Watson. As the bandleader of NERVE, his concepts and techniques of reverse engineering electronic drumbeats in real time on an acoustic drumset introduced a new paradigm and opened the door for an entire generation of musicians to follow. In 2014, Modern Drummer magazine listed him as one of the “50 Greatest Drummers of All Time.”
With his experience as a multi-faceted bass player and
vast technical prowess as one of New York’s busiest recording and mix- ing engineers, John Davis has developed the extraordinary facility to emulate almost any sequenced synth bass line from his bass guitar and pedal board in real time.
Jacob Bergson initially started to work with NERVE in 2010 as a recording engineer. Recently, he has also lent his talents as a keyboardist and producer to the group. His broad stylistic experience in jazz, electronic, and pop music as well as his skills with synthesizers make him not only a perfect collaborator for NERVE, but for a wide range of contemporary artists including Rubblebucket and Janka Nabay.
Stepping into NERVE’s proprietary real time audio deconstruction concept, Aaron Nevezie interacts with and manipulates the band’s sonic output during live performances. Co-owner of The Bunker Studio, Nevezie brings years of studio-honed engineering skills and techniques to the group.

This is it!!, not a recycled past language, but pushing towards the future. Respect.
Don't forget to put your volumes down after watching this video people
this is my favorite song of his ❤
jojo mayer is a time traveler :-)
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing PAS!
Man he is god of improvisation, the way he plays with time is simply remarkable.
This is great mhen.... Jojo Mayer always young... Lol
Yikes. Someone put that mix output level too low...unless that hissing is intentional :/
i would rather say Jojo Mayer's Nerve, without him band doesnt exist.

i disagree, i mean yes jojo is the star, but at the same time the context provided by john especially is pretty unique, is a very interesting bass player. I think he has made a name of his own, jojo has played with a lot of musicians and with john has a thing going on that i dont know if he could find anwhere.

yea it takes all 3 members to make Nerve for sure, but JoJo stands out among all drummers pretty much in the world... so much respect for jojo man... he is my hero, he went from buddy rich to this... , that's hip....can you dig it... jojo is the mutha f'ing man. my only other main influences that really changed the way i play drums would be Bernard Purdie, Dennis Chambers, and Richard Christy(i started out playing metal) then evolved after falling in love with The Purdie Shuffle, it all went crazy from there hahaha.... love making beats i'm in west Canada and the EDM scene is huge here. i hope some day to find 2 guys like this to play music with.. peace bro's

Without Jojo M they could have a shot to some real music. Jojo is not a great drummer. He turns any song into a drum solo and that is just awkward.
Why so quiet?
Hey, PAS, what's up with the sound? This is emberassing, at least..
Video is out of sync with audio
Jojo mayer & Nerve. It's not a 'feat'.
Audio-wise, this sounds VERY compressed. When he hits the snare, it should sound like "WHAP!"-not "whp". I like this piece, but have heard better recordings of it.
Mindwash
What happened to the bass drum sound?!?! Sounds like plastic box..

I talk with John a few weeks ago, they use hybrid way. Mic+Trigger at the same time.

It's clearly missing the 'umph'.. Sounds a lot like a 1" speaker with a cut at 100Hz. It was a try.. but in my opinion it just sounds like a very very small jukebox. Next time :)
Sorry, not impressed with the avant garde crap. Huge waste of Jojo's talent.
J.M. Turning any song into a drum solo... awkward. Does he even know what is the idea of DnB ? Another musician who thinks it's all about his ass... Jojo, the MUSIC is the point, not your PRACTICE SKILLS. Grow up already!
