Across more than 100 minutes, these 16 tracks deliver a polychromatic throng of styles and influences - from mellow dual horns and gyrating guitar in ‘Walz for Magnus’ to pop-mediaeval ‘Virelai’ (after Guillaume de Machaut). Blom has been performing in different line-ups for over twenty years with guitarist Jesse van Ruller, bassist Frans van der Hoeven and drummer Martijn Vink. As this band, they have released four studio albums since 2006. The first set features the quartet’s longtime friend Bert Joris. Nils Wogram, in the second set, has been on Blom’s radar for years as a particularly original player, composer and improviser.
