Cellist and composer Ernst Reijseger crosses borders and creates his own sound world without barriers. Reiseger composed the soundtrack for Herzogs fantastic word of images, which he made under extreme circumstances in the largest salt desert on earth, the »Salar de Uyuni«, 3700 meter above sea level. Reijseger reveals a sheer infinite diversity featuring the Voches de Sardinna, the classical flute player Erik Bosgraaf, the jazz piano player Harman Fraanje from The Netherlands, the accordion player Luciano Biondini from Italy, the Scottish percussionist Alan 'Gunga' Purves, the classical Netherlands Wind Ensemble (NBE), and the voice from Senegal, Mola Sylla. Reijsgers orchestra with musicians from diverse cultural circles merged into one unit as it has rarely been heard before. Reijseger composes the whole soundtrack, he writes especially for each performing artist and he directs his ensemble with sure touch. His work combines different influences into a new whole.

CD by Amsterdam based tentet with 12 original compositions by leader/trombonist Joost Buis, that zoom in on various combinations of players. Catchy themes and zoomin grooves with the focus on improvisation. "Astronotes has its own ensemble personality, developed over a decade of frequent gigs. Where other leaders rush under-ripe bands into the studio, Buis waited until the lineup had been fully tweaked, the concept fine-tuned, and the pieces developed to let their facets and the players shine." (Kevin Whitehead in AV guide) "Buis and his band play quite convincingly, not only when they extend ideas from the written page, but also when they innovate at the instant. There is a sense of fun imparted to several of the tunes, a zest and vitality that grabs right away." (Jerry D'Souza on allaboutjazz.com) "Fabulous arranged/improv'd jazz with that Dutch character, minus the silliness that sometimes accompanies it, but not without an uplifting vibe throughout."(Gary Sisco on jazzcornertalk)
Met Senegalees Seya zijn de Nederlander en Schot op Crosslinx, 6 april in MC E'de. Op dit bij vlagen maffe project uit 1982 geselt Reijsiger z'n cello en beroert intussen nog kalimba en percussie, bij onconventionele drumpatronen van Purvus.
