On 'Interview' the Dutch saxophonist Bart Wirtz teams up with leading American trumpeter Sean Jones (the orchestra of Wynton Marsalis, the Marcus Miller band). The line up is completed with vibraphone, bass clarinet and keys. A fresh and surprising sound, cross-referencing jazz with different styles and influences from rock to roots.

One of the finest young saxophonists in Europe today, Bart Wirtz has a flexible and versatile style that ranges from hard bop to freer explorations. A logical extension of such giants as Jackie McLean, Frank Morgan and Art Pepper among others, Wirtz has his own sound and open-minded approach to playing jazz. Wirtz has won several awards, including the Erasmus Jazz Prize, the Leiden Jazz Award and the Breda Jazz Prize. In 2012 he won the Edison Jazzism Audiance Award for his previous album 'iDreamer'.

Personnel: Bart Wirtz (alto saxophone), Sean Jones (trumpet), Jan Smit (bass clarinet), Jasper Soffers (piano, Wurlitzer, Rhodes, Hammond organ), Vincent Houdijk (vibraphone), Jeroen Vierdag (bass), Joost Van Schaik (drums)
