Yuri Honing * Yuri Honing's Peace Orchestra (Vinyl) [New LP]

With Peace Orchestra, saxophonist Yuri Honing presents a new musical chapter where boundaries blur and sounds connect. This unique ensemble brings together a rich palette of influences, rooted in the spiritual jazz of the 1960s and '70s, yet infused with modern electronics and an open, contemporary sound.Inspired by legends such as Pharoah Sanders (The Creator Has a Masterplan), Charles Lloyd, and Sun Ra, the album is a tribute to musical freedom. The Peace Orchestra defies stylistic labels - it is a breathing, evolving entity where tradition, innovation, and improvisation continuously embrace each other.Together, Yuri Honing - tenor saxophone, Remy van Kesteren - harp & electronics, Ella Zirina - guitar, Tony Overwater - double bass & bass guitar, and Yoràn Vroom - drums, create a sonic universe that feels contemplative, powerful, and wide open. Live recordings such as For a Script, Kaïn & Abel, and a surprising reinterpretation of Imagine showcase their dynamic energy and collective freedom.
