Niall Byrne - Amongst Women

Celebrated 1999 album from one of Europe's most acclaimed young jazz trios, featuring their take on classic pop tracks from the last quarter Century.A contemporary Dutch band that plays like a hybrid of that country's surrealist improv guerillas, an early Coltrane group, Andy Sheppard in crisis and Jan Garbarek trying to cut through the noise in a bar. Though they understand the postbop manner in every significant detail, their repertoire doesn't include 'Trane, Monk, Bird and Miles but Abba, Blondie, Roberta Flack and Sting. - John Fordham, The Guardian.YURI HONING (saxes), TONY OVERWATER (bass), JOOST LIJBAART (drums).
