TOBIAS DELIUS QUARTET

Tobias Delius-tenor saxophone, Tristan Honsinger-cello, Joe Williamson-bass, Han Bennink-drums

In 1990 Tobius Delius founded this quartet, that owes its special sound from the unusual setting and the interaction between the strong personalities in the group. This also leads to the captivating and constant moving of the compositions, referring to many styles; swing, waltzes, calypso, free extravaganza. ‘This must be one of Europe’s finest working groups… eclectic lines, delightful interplay and, quite often, ferocious swing.’ (DownBeat).
