Gideon Talezaar tenor sax · Jacob Artved guitar · Felix Moseholm double bass · Malte Arndal drums
The Dutch saxophonist Gideon Tazelaar, currently based in New York, stands out for a style that is in the tradition of the great masters of his instrument, such as John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins and Sonny Rollins. However, his repertoire and his improvisations draw on a wide range of influences, ranging from Sidney Bechet, Dionne Warwick and Frank Sinatra, to Milton Nascimento, Bach and Schumann. He has received praise from Wynton Marsalis, who has remarked on the quality of his sound and the depth of his music.
