Yuri Honing is probably Holland’s most important saxophone player (according to the Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD and the Oxford Introduction to jazz) with touring experience in over 50 countries and a discography of almost 30 titles. |
Honing played and recorded with greats as Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden and Paul Bley. In 2001 Honing received the Edison Jazz Award (Dutch Grammy) for his recording Seven, featuring Paul Bley, Gary Peacock and Paul Motion. |
| Wired Paradise debut double CD Temptation was released in 2006 and instantly received an Edison nomination. In 2008 they released their second CD Meet Your Demons. Most compositions on this album are inspired by recent masterworks from Hollywood, such as Kill Bill, Usual Suspects and L.A. Confidential. Though originally a jazz player, Honing developed a taste for people like Björk, Iggy Pop and bands like Goldfrapp and Radiohead. | Honing uses jazz, rock, dance and electronics
fearlessly to proof his point that jazz is not a
style but a language. Style doesn’t matter; it is
all about communicating modern times
through music.
On Meet Your Demons Honing and his band
confirm this with lavishing rock, hypnotising
electronics and roadmovie tunes..
