Release Yuri Honing
White tiger now available
Yuri always had an eye for contemporary developments, especially in popular music. After the succesful release of the ‘Phase Five’ album (Verve 270377-4) in collaboration with producer FLORiS featuring vocalists Janne Schra, Sarah Bettens and Lillian Vieira finally the long awaited album ‘White Tiger’ is released.
Since 2006 Honing and his electric band Wired Paradise are conquering the world with electronics, rock and jazz in a spectacular mix where Honing’s saxophone seems to represent the vocal part of many songs.
‘White Tiger’ is recorded during their 2009 worldtour and proves the band to be a stunning live act.
The album is inspired by Aravind Adiga’s prizewinning novel ‘The White Tiger’ . As a blueprint of Indian society Adiga’s novel overwhelmed Honing completely, who has been touring India for many years.
Also, an important part of this album was recorded during Honing’s last concert in India at his 2009 Mumbai concert.

reviews Jungle Boldie
Jungle Boldie had it's CD release concert at the BIMhuis last month. A great evening that was rewarded with a five star review in the Volkskrant. Also the first reviews of the CD were released.
all reviews are available at www.jungleboldie.com
"...The CD presentation concert, held at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, not only showed that playfulness and humor plays an important role in the music of this trio, but also a very high level of interplay. The three musicians are completely equal and support each other while simultaneously engaging their own parts..."
"...The repertoire is varied. Spicy in four swing, modal exuberant outbursts, banging funk, the Arab theme of Beirut and even convincing old but updated blues and Dixieland like St. James Infirmary and Palestine. The themes are often performed in perfect unison and thereafterthe soloist creates his own path around it..."
*****Frank van Herk, Volkskrant March 27th 2010
"...Fris is de naam Jungle Boldie waaronder het trio tegenwoordig opereert. En er klinkt ook nieuwe, actuele muziek. In elf nummers, opgenomen in de Evangelische Lutherse Kerk te Haarlem, laveert het trio van moderne jazz, langs dixieland tot wereldjazz met onder meer Arabische invloeden. De musici zijn gelijkwaardig aan elkaar, hun verkenningen grondig. Om beurten nemen ze het voortouw om dan weer melodisch, en dan weer in de tussenlagen te wroeten, zonder dat de spierballen opzichtig rollen...."
