about

The latest self-titled album by Belgian saxophonist Frank Deruytter gathers some of the finest jazz musicians. The icing on the cake is the rhythm section with the legendary drummer Peter Erskine.

Together with bassist Bart De Nolf and pianist Eric Legnini the duo went to the studio for an album that transcends the Belgian borders. Deruytter is known as one of the most important saxophonists in Belgium and the reputation and track record of Peter Erskine is massive. He played together with Jaco Pastorius in the jazz band Weather Report, but he also worked with musicians like Diana Krall and Joni Mitchell.

"The album developped very organically and the result was a lot more spontaneous than I had ever hoped for”, says Deruytter. “It was the first time in my life that I was fully satisfied with all the first takes." The sax player also praised Erskine. "His anticipation is just amazing and as a musician that’s really comforting. He also puts little weight on the technique of his game, although he can play some incredibly complicated things"

The self-titled album tells a story that Deruytter wants to bring to the listener in one time. "That’s why I don’t look at the pieces separately. You can certainly hear a groovy sound, but also some emotional pieces that occasionally go dressed in some humor”, says Deruytter, who is still astonished by the collaboration. “With each piece I played with him, he turned into a kind of giant encyclopedia. I really learned a lot recording this record."
