Saxophonist and composer Mete Erker presents with his Trio + 1 a double album full of musical discoveries: Tilburg Noord / Tilburg B-side. This suite is an exploration of identity, memory and the poetry that lies hidden in the cracks of a 1970s suburban development. Together with the young top musicians Floris Kappeyne (piano), Tijs Klaassen (double bass) and Wouter Kühne (drums), Erker creates a soundscape where freedom and structure meet.

With this album, the saxophonist, known for collaborations with among others Jeroen van Vliet, Artvark Saxophone Quartet and Anton Goudsmit’s Ton Petit+, takes a new, adventurous path. His music moves between contemporary European impressionism and the free, extraverted jazz of Albert Ayler and Charlie Haden.
