Gideon Tazelaar is one of the most compelling and technically superb saxophonists on the European jazz scene today. Dividing his time between Amsterdam, New York, and now the Scandinavian jazz community, he has developed a style that feels like a direct lineage to the greatest tenor giants of jazz’s golden era. He navigates the lightning-fast complexities of traditional bebop with effortless ease, while seamlessly infusing classic ballads with deep, lyrical warmth. Gideon is renowned for his massive tone and tight interplay, collaborating with international icons like Wynton Marsalis and Dick Oatts as well as leading Danish artists like Jacob Artved. A performance by Gideon Tazelaar is a raw, unadorned, and deeply swinging tribute to the true spirit of jazz.
