GUY KLUCEVSEK & PHILLIP JOHNSTON
in cooperation with VPRO Radio
Guy Klucevsek-accordeon, Phillip Johnston-saxophones
This world-class duo consists of accordeonist/composer Guy Klucevsek and saxophonist/composer Phillip Johnston (well known as the leader of the legendary Microscopic Sextet). For over two decades Guy Klucevsek has been leading the forefront at the crossroads of contemporary classical music and world music, while Phillip Johnston has been investigating the overlap of jazz, blues and new music. In this new duo they wrote a unique repertoire in which they express the overlap of intersections with wry wit, finger-bustin’ chops and a mysterious charm. Is it Polka-Bop? Is it Trance-Tango? Is it Avant-Baroque?
