The revered US saxophonist/composer brings a star-studded crew for his four-day concert series in Hamburg, Germany
There's a string quartet and a thrash metal trio; a lounge band who sound like they're playing Charlie Brown themes; and an a cappella quintet who sound like a medieval Andrews Singers.
The musical universe he has created is utterly distinct and unique yet has always garnered power in reflecting music from around the world suggesting a soundtrack to the new globalised culture.
Where to start? His recent pair of compositions for classical ensembles or an album from his latest metal group? Oh, look: Last year’s book of tunes for small jazz combo seems to have attracted some of the best improvising players in the world.
