It’s the unfathomable, nonverbal conversation improvising musicians have that sax player Jelske Hoogervorst and guitarist Folker Tettero are trying to catch in their writing and playing with their duo formation Interplay.

Be it a lyrical ballad or an uptime swinging piece. Folker and Jelske traverse the pieces with great ease and a lot of fun to play. Despite the fact that there are only two of them, when listening to them you feel like there is a whole band playing.

The intimate setting the duo creates is an answer to today’s society where everything has to be fast with immediate results. Folker and Jelske go for depth and longevity. Depth in fusing their instruments, allowing them to make an increasingly unified musical statement. The long haul, because they don’t choose the easy way, but rather the way that comes from the heart and creates the greatest musical impact.
