TOBIAS DELIUS QUARTET

Tobias Delius-tenor saxophone, clarinet, Valdi Kolli-bass, Tristan Honsinger-cello, Han Bennink-drums

Tobias Delius, one of the most respected tenor players in Europe, founded this quartet in 1990. The unusual line up is one reason for its fascinating and special sound, another is the interaction between the powerful personalities of the players. A perfect recipe for the variation in styles like swing, waltzes, calypso, free extravagance, always in motion. ‘One of Europe’s finest working groups’, according to Down Beat. This concert Valdi Kolli will replace bass-player Joe Williamson.
