Sextet of renowned composer Friso van Wijck. Passionate virtuoso’s, who put forward a broad and coloristic sound palette with the instrumentation of two guitars, bass, alto sax, tenor sax, drums, and applied electronics. Music with a hyper-expressionistic quality imbued with personal authenticity and creative interaction.
Native Speaker has an eccentric group sensibility and sound that reevaluates the jazz sax-bass-drums formation. Their music presents a bold irreverence for the frontiers separating genres and for the boundaries between predetermination and improvisation. This creates an environment in which trust, spontaneity, and sensitivity take precedence.
