Yuri Honing has dedicated his new album to the gruesome heritage of Bluebeard, titlular character of the 17th Century French fairytale.
The relentless Bluebeard now has a soundtrack thanks to Dutch saxophone pride Yuri Honing. With his Acoustic Quartet, Yuri Honing has been celebrating international success for many years. As with his previous album Goldbrun, the release of Bluebeard will be followed by an exhibition at Museum De Fundatie in Zwolle, a 'Gesamtkunstwerk' of paintings, sculptures and music in collaboration with painter Mariecke van der Linden. Honing's awards include three Edisons and the Boy Edgar Prijs 2012, and he has worked with countless greats such as Pat Metheny, Charli Haden, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Paul Bley and Craig Taborn.
