Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet – Crossing Spirits

Musical journey with Bowie

Yuri Honing became fascinated by David Bowie at a young age. David Sanborn's solo in Bowie's 'Young Americans' inspired him to start playing the saxophone. The Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet has played various Bowie songs in the past. Think of 'Bring Me the Disco King' from their album 'True', recorded in Berlin. During this performance, you will experience how the band approaches the phenomenon of Bowie in a unique way.

New interpretations

The band employs the 'reworks' method here. This means that parts of Bowie's music, his art, and his continuous drive for renewal serve as the basis for new arrangements. The Yuri Honing Quartet draws inspiration from Bowie's individuality. He always created from within himself, without regard for the expectations of others. You can hear how this inspiration leads to surprising and original interpretations of his work.

Successful tributes

Listeners are reacting enthusiastically to the group's interpretations of Bowie. The song 'After All' has already been streamed 8 million times. This success demonstrates the appreciation for their unique approach. Moreover, the love for Bowie, his expression, theatricality, and the ability to gather talented people around him formed the starting point for the new album by the Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet, 'Crossing Spirits'.
