Den New York baserede saxofonist og komponist Seamus Blake er anset som en særdeles fin eksponent for moderne jazz, og han er blandt andet blevet hyldet af John Scofield, der hyrede Blake til hans "Quiet Band" og kaldte ham "extraordinary, a total saxophonist." Jesse van Ruller har ligeledes modtaget international anerkendelse for hans lette, lysende og flydende guitarspil, og store navne som Pat Metheny, Jim Hall og John Scofield har tilkendegivet deres respekt for den virtuose hollænder. Denne aften er vi beærede over at kunne præsentere en helt ny konstellation af anderkendte improvisatører på den internationale jazzscene. Efter at have spillet sammen i forskellige projekter valgte Seasmus Blake, Jesse Van Ruller, Daniel Franck og Ivars Arutyunyan at forene kræfter i et stærkt kollektiv med det formål at skabe et unikt musikalsk statement med både original musik og numre, de elsker.
