Heritage (Breaking Borders #4) (CD)

Renowned Danish saxophonist Benjamin Koppel takes a trip back in time for inspiration from his grandfather, composer Herman D, Koppel, as well as Johannes Brahms and Jewish folk songs. Recorded in New York with the outstanding american pianist Uri Caine, the album also features the beautiful sound of Syrian clarinettist Kinan Azmeh and the creativity for percussionist John Hadfield. And most importantly, the album is a tribute to the idea that we all stand on each others shoulders and will always draw inspiration from our common heritage.
