NYC-based Canadian saxophonist and composer Quinsin Nachoff "is one of the truly bright younger jazz minds" (the Globe and Mail). Nachoff has been colliding genres since his debut Magic Numbers, which melded a jazz trio with a string quartet. He's since composed music for a variety of ensembles, including the PendereckiStringQuartet and the TurningPointEnsemble, as well as his own HorizonsEnsemble, QuiescenceQuartet, PyramidProject and FoMo quartet. As a sideman he's performed and/or recorded with Kenny Werner, Howard Johnson, Tim Hagans, Kenny Wheeler and Don Thompson, among others. He has coached at the Banff Centre for the Arts and taught at University of Toronto and Humber College, and served as artist-in-residence at the Queensland Conservatorium in Brisbane, Australia. On Flux, Nachoff explores the elusive terrain between modern jazz and contemporary classical, between the cerebral and the organic. Flux creates a fervently original sound that evokes bold, incisive playing from a singularly innovative quartet. It's "a pure, bracing through-provoking music cliché- and convention-free," says Peter Hum in the Ottawa Citizen of the group's debut concert. Jazz Magazine in France gave the recording four stars, calling Quinsin "a brilliant virtuoso musician." The music has "an intensity and modernity, a brashness and in-your-face confidence of delivery," notes AllAboutJazz.
