Tales From The Jacquard [Vinyl]

Saxophonist and composer Julian Siegel’s fourth release on Whirlwind and his most ambitious musical feat to date, sees him assemble the Julian Siegel Jazz Orchestra.

Following the acclaimed quartet release ‘Vista’ and the influential co-led Partisans album ‘Nit de Nit’, Siegel solidifies his reputation as one of Europe’s most celebrated artists working across jazz and improvised music.

Siegel has appeared as a member of some of the great large ensembles - he lists Hermeto Pascoal, Mike Gibbs, Kenny Wheeler, Django Bates and NDR Bigband amongst extensive performing credits. Now, the istrumentalist turns leader: ‘Tales from the Jacquard ‘is Siegel’s first record at the helm of a large ensemble.
