For his improvisational group 1000 (Thousand), German saxophone player Jan Klare composes works tinged with influences of classical music by Ravel, Wagner and Monteverdi. Sometimes he also uses simple marching music or melodies by Burt Bacharach as a basis. The compositions are springboards for inventive renditions by three natural born improvisers: Flemish trumpet player Bart Maris, double bassist Wilbert de Joode and drummer Michel Vatcher. ‘Beautiful improvisations and nuances on a high level’ (NRC).
