Description was written before the event

Saxophonist Mete Erker presents with his ensemble Trio + 1 a double album about identity and the poetry hidden in the cracks of a 1970s Vinex neighbourhood: Tilburg Noord / Tilburg B-side.

The music on both albums combines personal stories with improvisational freedom - moving between restrained passages and energetic outbursts. Stylistically it situates itself in contemporary European impressionism, blended with the free, extroverted jazz of Albert Ayler and Charlie Haden.

"a beautifully playing group [...] that you can no longer escape once you are captivated" - Tom Beetz, JazzNu
