Jorrit Dijkstra (NL) with Gino Robair, Damon Smith
"James Devane, however, is best when his impressive dark atmosphere is constantly being tampered with by semi-complex guitar figures (for ambient, anyway). The songs are more dense than on your everyday ambient record and there are almost no silences in the album’s 40 minutes, but the dreamy melancholy that James Devane strives for is unharmed by this."
- Tobias Corell, Digitalis
The music of saxophonist and composer Jorrit Dijkstra draws from the jazz tradition in spirit and sound, but has crossed stylistic and cultural borders in order to express a strong, evolving personal vision. He spent his formative years in Amsterdam’s vibrant improvisation community, playing jazz, free improvisation, contemporary opera, and African, Celtic and Balkan music. Since moving to the United States in 2002, Dijkstra has deepened his affinity with the experimental forces of American music, while staying in touch with his Dutch musical roots.
