Aventura Quartet is the latest project from german saxophone player and composer, Werner Hüsgen. The music, composed, rehearsed and recorded in corona-lockdown and re-opening reflects both, the desire for Live-Music and the joy of liberation from restrictions. It can be described as contemporary European Jazz, but also includes current Chamber Music such as World-Music, without denying its rooting in Jazztradition. Rich in detail with improvisational interaction, the quartet reaches numerous musical worlds – sometimes in a lyrical mood, sometimes with glowing energy. The debut album „Soul&Mind“ will be released on February 18th, 2022 by Luxaries Records.
