Bill Noertker and Mark Oi were first introduced to each other by the late, great saxophonist John Tchicai. Since last year they have been working together to create their own unique compositional and improvisational duet language. Their vocabulary includes elements of baroque music, free jazz, world music, and 20th-century classical music, all of which has been repurposed and assimilated into their idiosyncratic musical dialogues.
Mark Oi is a guitarist, composer and music educator that has been performing and recording nationally and internationally for the last 25 years in a variety of genres. He spent a decade performing, touring and collaborating with Danish jazz saxophone legend John Tchicai. During this time he performed on Danish and German National Radio and other venues.
