White Tiger

New album from saxophonist Yuri Honing, one of Holland's most successful jazz artists and his Wired Paradise band. His latest album is inspired by recent classic Hollywood movies like L.A. Confidential, Kill Bill and The Usual Suspects. Over the years Honing has built his international career by working with great American jazz artists such as guitarist Pat Metheny, bass player Charlie Haden and the legendary pianist Paul Bley. Leading international publications like The Oxford Introduction to Jazz and The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD feature Honing and his extensive oeuvre. Wired Paradise is Honing's electric group consisting of Tony Overwater (bass), Joost Lijbaart (drums), the German avant-garde jazz guitarist Frank Möbus, and rock guitarist Paul Jan Bakker (ex Anouk, ex Kane). The music on this CD contains six brand new, powerful compositions in which passion and power dominate, but also atmosphere and melancholy. The saxophonist also recorded a fresh new version of the pop classic "Wild is the Wind" for this album.
