"Saxophone worlds infuse with an explosion of creativity!
The Apollo - Britain’s premier classical and beyond saxophone quartet for the last thirty years, and The Artvark - The Netherland’s chief jazz and groove saxophone quartet, already fifteen years old, meet in Promethean style.
Every player is also a composer and each has contributed a piece to this stunning collection.
The genesis of this collaboration was at the UNISA National Saxophone Symposium, South Africa, in 2014, where both groups played and met - culminating in February 2019 in Manchester, England in a concert “Two Quartets Collide & Merge” followed by two days of recording to produce this stunning album.
Combining the individual talents of Apollonians Rob Buckland, Andy Scott, Carl Raven and Jim Fieldhouse together with Ardvarkians Rolf Delfos, Bart Wirtz, Mete Erker and Peter Broekhuisen they create music of great individuality and dynamism."
