Daniel Hersog Quartet
Canadian jazz trumpeter, composer, educator and bandleader Daniel Hersog was the winner of the Jazz Times Magazine poll award for Best Composer in 2020. After receiving praise for his debut album Night Devoid of Stars, recorded with Noah Preminger on tenor saxophone and Frank Carlberg on piano, Daniel Hersog released Open Spaces - Folk Songs Reimagined, the second album of the 17-piece Daniel Hersog Jazz Orchestra, in 2023. Jazz Times' review of the album is proof that the Canadian musician's compositional skills are already being compared to legends: “Daniel Hersog has a gift for expressive orchestral writing... directly in the lineage of great jazz composers like Gil Evans... He is a great talent and this album is a remarkable work.” Daniel Hersog Quartet will be on Akbank Sanat stage on October 1 as a guest of the 34th Akbank Jazz Festival.
