music:
These three musicians form one of the most successful Dutch jazz groups of today, centered around not only a brilliant saxophone player and composer, but also one of the leading Dutch artists in jazz since the nineties. Yuri Honing played and/or recorded with artists such as Pat Metheny, Paul Bley, Charlie Haden and Vince Mendoza, but also with renowned Dutch colleagues such as Misha Mengelberg and Ernst Reijseger. The rest of the trio consists of equally remarkable musicians/composers: bassist Tony Overwater and drummer Joost Lijbaart. While touring all over the world, the Yuri Honing Trio have built a unique style, based on jazz, pop and non-western musical traditions.
