BIMHUIS TV Presents: Jesse van Ruller // Maarten Hogenhuis

Illustrious duo with a broad view on saxophone and guitar.

These Dutch jazz heroes hardly need any introduction: guitarist Jesse van Ruller and Maarten Hogenhuis form a versatile duo. Even though their musicianship is rooted in jazz tradition, their influences reach beyond Miles, Coltrane or Parker. They’re inspired by singular bands and songwriters such as Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, Grizzly Bear and Blake Mills. They seek dialogue in rhythm and melody, and they steer away from the traditional soloist and accompanist roles. Their new album contains compositions by both of them.
Jesse van Ruller has an international reputation as one of the most talented guitarists of his generation, which led to collaborations with many greats such as Roy Hargrove, Joe Lovano en Bill Stewart. His intuitive playing displays a deep melodic feel and high rhythmic agility. Maarten Hogenhuis is part of the internationally renowned formation BRUUT!, he leads his own trio and was awarded the North Sea Jazz composition assignment in 2019. As an in-demand sideman he has proven himself in a great variety of genres.

Jesse was part of a fusion group called"Mona Lisa Overdrive" where he plays his tele. They did a great record,it might not be that easy to find.
