Julie Kjær – saksofon

Denne trioen hadde sitt førstemøte i mars under årets ArtActs-festival i St. Johann i Triol. Den er en av Large Units mange fantastiske Small Units.

«Saxophonist and flautist Julie Kjær’s edgy and thoughtfull playing and ‘dark, otherworldly imagery’ (Jazzwise) has become incerasingly evident around Europe, inhabiting ground between composition and free improv. She has toured internationally and recorded with Django Bates and his band StoRMChaser, and the Danish big-band “Blood Sweat Drum’n Bass” where she has played with amongst others: Dave Douglas, Arve Henriksen and Palle Mikkelborg. She plays with London Improvisers Orchestra and is a leader and sidewoman of several other English and Danish ensembles. Currently she is working on a new trio project with bass player John Edwards and drummer Steve Noble and on a project with the Danish-English sextet ‘Pierette Ensemble’. The ensemble’s cd will be released spring 2014. Julie was recently chosen to be a part of Sound and Music’s ‘Portfolio’ artist development program for improvisers. She has played with people like: Veryan Weston, Steve Beresford, Oren Marshall, Chris Biscoe, Dylan Bates, Steve Watts, Helge Norbakken, and Gimo Mendes»
