YURI HONING WIRED PARADISE

Yuri Honing-tenor sax, soprano sax, Frank Moebus-guitar, Paul Jan Bakker-guitar, Tony Overwater-bass, el. bass, Joost Lijbaart-drums

Whether he decorates pop songs or finds a connection with the Arabic traditions, in Yuri Honing’s music you hear intelligence, imagination and a royal tenor sound. In this new ‘electric’ setting, the groove takes a more central position with the addition of guitarist Frank Möbus, well known from the German avant-garde ensemble Der Rote Bereich, who, like Paul Jan Bakker, is not afraid of some rugged distortion.
