Duo Joost Lijbaart & Wolfert Brederode starts with rough sketches in which they keep swapping roles. ‘Together they become a new instrument. Beautiful, shy melodies, song after song, that appear in crystal-clear sounding voices. They seem to doubt their existence as if they will withdraw at the slightest disturbance. This quieting music makes you feel as if you can silently disappear in it.’ (P.F. Thomese about the album One). The Wolfert Brederode Quartet plays an original, atmospheric and creative chamber jazz, floating between strong melody lines and elusive harmonies.
