JASPER BLOM QUARTET

Saxophone player Jasper Blom and guitarist Jesse van Ruller have been playing together for 20 years already, in various line-ups. Blom’s new CD Dexterity displays their versatility. It is a richly varied album, with raw solos and dynamic passages on tracks like ‘White Stripes’ to a ballad based on the 14th century composer Solage. ‘Jasper Blom is one of the most fascinating composers in The Netherlands. His music is fresh, accessible and exciting, with odd time signatures all over the place’ (Volkskrant).
