Yuri Honing

Yuri Honing (born July 6, 1965) is a Dutch jazz saxophonist and composer.[1]

Career

In 2001, Honing met Paul Bley and recorded the album Seven, featuring Bley on piano, Gary Peacock on bass, and Paul Motian on drums.[2] This album garnered Honing the Dutch Edison Award in 2002.[3] In The Penguin Guide to Jazz (8th Edition), this CD was recognized with four (out of five) stars.[4]

For a few years Honing organized a special concert named Winterreise at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. In December 2015 he played his final show at the venue.[5]

After the success of his fusion band Yuri Honing Wired Paradise, which was characterized by its rock influence and electric guitars,[6] Honing assembled his Acoustic Quartet in 2012. In 2016, the quartet won the Edison award for 'Best Instrumental Jazz Album' for their second CD, Desire (2015).[7] The group's third album, Goldbrun (2018), won this award as well, making it his third Edison in total.[7]
