Double Quartet

SIEVERTS STILLMAN RIFFLET WEBER SCHUMACHER THUILLIER RUECKERT HOLLENBECK, HENNING SIEVERTS

Bassist and composer Henning Sieverts has assembled his favorite and most talented musicians to form his Double Quartet for this release. The Double Quartet comes from the idea that each instrument has a “twin” : the two saxophones, the piano and the vibes, the bass and the tuba, and the drums and other percussion. The groups are divided and regrouped for the tracks. The musicians hail from Europe, Germany, and the United States, and include known artists such as pianist Florian Weber and drummers Jochen Rueckert and John Hollenbeck. These players “fit together aesthetically, their sound and musical styles intermesh without being too homogeneous. I don’t want things to get boring. There needs to be a healthy mixture of ‘blind understanding’ and constructive tension.” (Sieverts)
