Performance Introduction︱
Climbing without ropes: A sax player and a drummer are exploring the chances and challenges of improvising in the duo format. German-born Klaus Bru on electrified C-saxes busies himself with whirling notes, minimal cries, orchestral noises, while American-born Sorensen on drums provides elegant, tricky, always groovy rhythms, at times as light as a spring breeze, at other times as threatening as a typhoon in midsummer. Aside from dramatic peaks and occasional noisy outbursts, their improvisations are thick with melodies that wander around and find back to their center.
