“One of the most creative and fearless saxophonists of the moment.” (The Times)
“From note one you know that saxophonist Honing has ‘got it’ and that tone can cut through your soul.” (The Independent)
“One of today’s trailblazers.” (All about Jazz)
Yuri Honing is one of Holland’s most important saxophone players (according to The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD and the Oxford Introduction to jazz) with touring experience in over 80 countries and a discography of almost 30 titles.
Though definitely a jazzman, Dutch saxophonist Yuri Honing reaches much further. From working with pianist Craig Taborn, Lebanese singer Rima Khcheich, Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ibrahim Maalouf, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts, Christian Mcbride, Joe Sample and Charlie Haden，Honing made his first mark – before Herbie Hancock’s “The New Standard” – recording only pop songs with his trio for his first hit album “Star Tracks”; and his second by his awarded New York recording Seven with jazz greats Paul Bley, Gary Peacock and Paul Motian, with which he received the Edison Jazz Award (Dutch Grammy) in 2001.
In 2012 Yuri Honing was awarded with the Boy Edgar Prize, the most prestigious jazz prize in the Netherlands.
