DESCRIPTION:Jazzduo In Essence plays accessible jazz. Saxophonist and clari
	netist Iman\nSpaargaren (NL) and double bassist Peter Bjørnild (DK) recent
	ly released the\nalbum In Essence on the Sound Liaison label—a beautiful c
	ollection of well-known\nand lesser-known jazz standards and ballads\, pre
	sented in a purely acoustic\,\nimprovised dialogue between double bass\, t
	enor saxophone\, and clarinet. The\nalbum has been very well received in t
	he international press:\n\nPositive Feedback wrote:\n\n“Simply incredible…
	 with all the transparency\, timbral accuracy\, and resolution\nfor which 
	we love Pure DSD256. Iman Spaargaren and Peter Bjørnild play\nbrilliantly 
	together. The duo has chosen to keep each track short\, distilled\ndown to
	 its melodic and emotional core. It’s as if the goal wasn’t to impress\nwi
	th complexity\, but to offer a clear\, focused experience of each tune\, e
	ach one\na small\, self-contained meditation\, a kind of musical haiku—con
	cise\, almost\nfragile in its clarity\, capturing the essence of melody an
	d melodic\nimprovisation. The result is music that doesn’t explain itself—
	it simply is.”\n\nAudiophile Style described the album as:\n\n“A wonderful
	 selection of songs\, played exquisitely\, captured impeccably\, and\ndeli
	vered to our listening rooms pristinely.”\n\nThe Absolute Sound called it:
	\n\n“A truly beautiful aural snapshot of a wonderful musical performance. 
	A real\n‘you’re there’ moment.”
