About Toon Roos Quartet "Love Revisited"
In 2001 the Bird Award - North Sea Jazz Festival's most
prestigious award that was recently renamed the Paul Acket Award -
was presented to Toon Roos. At the time the jury said all that can
be said about this master of the saxophone. "Toon Roos belongs to
the best tenor sax players in the Netherlands. He is versatile,
plays in the most versatile ensemble and controls his instrument
like no other. His playing possesses an intense eloquence. His tone
that is immediately recognizable is round and agile. Although
rooted in tradition, Toon Roos belongs to the modern generation of
jazz musicians who stylistically know no limits, and in that sense
he is a true example of the current state of affairs in jazz
music." Meanwhile, Roos has been a professional musician for 25
years. He played with the widely acclaimed Dutch Jazz Orchestra for
a long time. These days he usually leads his own bands. On his
latest album Love Revisited he declares his love of acoustic jazz.
And he does so in his own way, like Joe Zawinul once described it:
"Nice and easy - you feel the music..."
