Every recording of Mommaas has a sense of purpose, and perhaps this new release is the pinacle of the series of recordings done by Mommaas, with a unique unorthodox concept firmly standing on the forefront of where improvised music is leading us challenging new fresh ideas with extremely strong and convincing execution by all bandmembers. Mommaas started working on this concept in 2005 in collaboration with Tony Moreno. Guitarist Nate Ratley joined the group as a core element of the group and on the recording Guitarists Vic Juris and Rez Abassi are added as extra texture. Here Mommaas travels deeper into the diverse rhythmic language of Improvised music.Sunnyside records - release March 2010 |

BALANCE - duo |
|
 |
In '97 Mommaas had the idea to start his recording career with a saxophone piano duo release. But events took a different path
and the right moment presented itself in 2006 with support of Sunnyside records and his longtime collaborator Nikolaj Hess on piano.
This is a very special and rather unique recording incoorporating both Polyharmonic material in a mixed meter context and the opposite
approach, a free piece, a straight ahead composition and two saxophone solo pieces.

Mommaas has created an unfaltering suite of compositions that express new things while studiously avoiding, for the most part, the free-jazz route. Add to this the fact that both musicians’ playing is damn good and you have an important record.” - Jeff Dayton-Johnson, All About Jazz' (May 2006)'This record of duo recordings showcases the Dutch saxophonist at his very best....' -- Justin Glick - WNUR 89.3 FM Chicage (March 2006) |

Released in 2003 this recording became an important stepping stone forward for Mommaas, freshly signed by Sunnnyside records, and followed by
critical acclaim. Master Percussionist Tony Moreno joined Global Motion as an intregal part of the group and as special guest Rez Abbasi
was added as an extra voice on guitar and electric sitar to emphasize the different polyrhythmic elements in the compositions put forward on this recording.
