Saxophonist/composer Quinsin Nachoff draws inspiration from mythology that seeks to make sense of the unfathomable cosmos on his new album Stars and Constellations, out October 13, 2023 via Adyhâropa Records. Uniting a chord-less jazz trio – Nachoff, bassist Mark Helias and drummer Dan Weiss – with both the Bergamot Quartet, and on one track by The Rhythm Method string quartet, the adventurous album dissolves any division between jazz and classical.
” There’s something strikingly inventive and vivid about Nachoff’s music… composed by a mind that continues to stretch beyond the comfort zone of any genre.” – Friedrich Kunzmann, All About Jazz
“Nachoff’s writing [is] shaped by an engagingly complex musical mind, a sensibility that guarantees the progress of each movement will contain a series of delights and surprises. It’s demanding contemporary music that succeeds at the trick of pulling you in.” – Michael Ullman, The Arts Fuse
