HOOK, LINE & SINKER

TRISTAN HONSINGER, TOBIAS DELIUS, AXEL DÖRNER, ANTONIO BORGHINI

Axel Dörner trumpet, Tobias Delius tenor sax, Tristan Honsinger cello, Antonio Borghini bass

Cello player Tristan Honsinger has been a member of the ICP Orchestra for years, whose nimble and inimitable style of playing and slapstick-like body language make him a stand out performer. He has played in many improvisational ensembles, including those led by Cecil Taylor. In his new quartet Hook, Line & Sinker he improvises with renowned fellow Berliners. Trumpet player Axel Dörner’s whistling, abstract sounds make for an interesting counterpart to saxophonist Tobias Delius, known for his warm tenor playing. Bassist Antonio Borghini has performed with Stefano Bollani and Cristina Zavalloni.
