Description
Saxophonist Sigurdur Flosason is one of the most influential and prolific jazz musicians from Iceland and the one with the biggest international reach, having forged relationships with musical collaborators across several borders. On his new album, "Here and Now", Flosason is joined by Michel Reis (piano), Marc Demuth (double bass) and Jeff Herr (drums), Luxembourgish jazz musicians who, having been educated and influenced abroad, all have their own domestic and international careers and collaborations.
The Sigurdur Flosason DeLux 4Tet harmonises beautifully together, lets its ideas flow into each other, grants itself all the room and all the time of the world and never sounds like the band of a saxophonist. On "Here And Now", Sigurdur Flosason scatters his ripe, variable, multi-faceted tone discreetly but unmistakably into the arrangements. In addition, his compositional talents can be admired on pieces such as "Counting Sheep", "Father Of Light" and "Forty-Nine". The other members of the DeLux 4Tet also contributed their own compositions. Michel Reis is responsible for the title song "Stanley Park" and "Thank You Letter", Marc Demuth composed "Dante", and Jeff Herr's piece is adorned with the title "Moonglow". As a result, the four constantly shape new platforms for their vital stories, which captivate and touch without words, attract attention and yet completely renounce effects, tricks and games of force, simply eliminate the definition and style limits and nevertheless provide a reflection of what Jazz 2019 is supposed to be: A prejudice-free art form that has long since been redefined and bears the individual handwriting of the respective protagonists.
