Alto saxophonist Ben van Gelder brings his quartet to Søhesten for an evening of jazz. Van Gelder is widely regarded as an authority on the alto saxophone, known for his distinctive sound, lyrical playing and personal approach to composition. His music is rooted in jazz tradition but draws on many other genres and disciplines, and visual art often shapes his writing.
He is joined by Peter Schlamb on vibraphone, Matthias Petri on bass and Cornelia Nilsson on drums. Schlamb was once part of Van Gelder's quintet in New York, so the group brings a shared musical history to the stage.
