**Aventura Quartet is the latest project from german saxophone player and composer,
Werner Hüsgen. The music, composed, rehearsed and recorded in corona-lockdown and
re-opening reflects both, the desire for Live-Music and the joy of liberation from
restrictions.**

It can be described as contemporary European Jazz, but also includes current Chamber
Music such as World-Music, without denying its rooting in Jazztradition. Rich in
detail with improvisational interaction, the quartet reaches numerous musical worlds–
sometimes in a lyrical mood, sometimes with glowing energy.

a network between Cologne – Amsterdam – Brussels working as performing artist, composer
