about

Marc Mommaas and Nikolaj Hess, Tenor Saxophone / Piano duo.

credits

released April 25, 2006

“…Balance is just one more fact in Mommaas’ resume that builds to the conclusion that he is one of the current generation’s leading musicians…” (Jazzimprov)

“With his totally masterful sense of rhythm Hess tracks the point where the music swings the most with the least effort. He also has the ability to let the music meet him and seize the possibilities that arise through that interaction....” (Rabinowitch Politiken)

After the highly acclaimed release “Global Motion” Dutch tenor saxophonist Marc Mommaas brings out “Balance”, a duo recording including his longtime Danish collaborator Nikolaj Hess. “Even though Mommaas has pared down his group to a duo for Balance, his aesthetic of mixing meters—even within the confines of a single composition or within the length of several measures—and of writing unconventional modulations continues” (Jazzimprov)
