The Finefones Saxophone Quartet, founded and led by versatile German saxophonist and composter / arranger Peter Lehel is among one of the most interesting saxophone ensembles in Germany.
With the second release „Sonority“ in 2019 the journey of FineFones Saxophone Quartet moved on to new dimensions. The quintet arrangements of Peter Lehel for the recording „Sonority“ cover a wide range of moods and grooves, from original compositions based on his deep knowledge about classical chamber music and jazz, a swinging new arrangement of Oliver Nelson`s „Stolen Moments“ featuring great altoist Jim Snidero.
With the all new, just recorded program „Mood Antigua – Slow boat to Taiwan“ the group turns to new ways again. Peter Lehel – frequently traveling to Asia for concerts and master classes – has arranged some Asian / Taiwanese flavored melodies as well as compositions by the Taiwanese saxophone players Shawna Yang, Jimmy Lee and Sam Su for the FineFones Saxophone Quartet. In addition with some new compositions by Peter Lehel the result is a beautiful combination of european and asian moods and colors, connecting the limitless sound qualities of the saxophone with beautiful melodies, classical approach, jazz improvisations and groove.
The FineFones Saxophone Quartet is constantly enriching the repertoire for saxophone ensembles by putting together the best of jazz, classical and crossover music sources.
