22nd January 2019: ★★★★ review from All About Jazz for Jasper Blom’s Polyphony (drops this Friday) ft. Bert Joris and Nils Wogram

A lustrous double album showcasing just why Jasper Blom is one of the Netherlands’ most prominent, forward-thinking saxophonist-composers in contemporary jazz, Polyphony documents two sold-out live concerts from his quartet at Amsterdam’s BIMHUIS in collaboration with two special solo artists – trumpeter Bert Joris and trombonist Nils Wogram.

“The catalyst for the album was Blom’s fascination with medieval polyphony and how it translates to twenty-first-century jazz… The two CDs are essentially different in tone and texture, characterised by Blom’s clever and frequently complex compositions.”
