Julie Sassoon Quartet

"Voyages" are expansive sonic journeys through the inner landscapes of the extraordinary British pianist Julie Sassoon. With her quartet, founded in 2015, she has been recognized for her lyrical, dense playing, which the *Guardian*— which named her latest album “Voyages” “Jazz Album of the Month,” and is reminiscent of the intensity of Keith Jarrett’s solo virtuosity and the minimalism of Steve Reich. After training in classical piano and violin, Julie Sassoon first founded her trio “Azilut!”, which was in turn praised by *The Guardian* as “capable of working wonders.” She has performed the music of Julius Eastman, as well as with the band Oregon and as a soloist at the sold-out Elbphilharmonie. A concert as a shared journey. Accompanied by her “Wunder” quartet featuring Lothar Ohlmeier on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet, Meinrad Kneer on bass, and Rudi Fischerlehner on drums.
