We have a communication that works incredibly naturally," Paul Heller enthuses. "Neither of us feels pushed in any direction; it"s a conversation between friends who get along well." Whereas Heller is aware that Jasper van"t Hof"s contribution is once again something very special: "Jasper doesn"t accompany, he constantly brings in things that you react to and in turn do things that you probably would never have done otherwise." On Conversations, pianist Jasper van"t Hof, an icon of the European jazz scene, and the great saxophonist Paul Heller meet. The result is an album full of powerful intimacy. They are joined by Martin Gjakonovski on bass and Bodek Janke on drums.
