One is already beginning to forget how much the lockdown times could hit people. “In the beginning I did it like a lot of people did,” recalls saxophonist Jason Seizer. “Refurbished, finally put in order, things like that. But then everything fell apart. A nine-concert tour turned into a video shoot at the end. And something like that happened all the time. So I asked myself: what’s the point of all this? ?” It got really scary in 2021 when the three quartet colleagues Pablo Held, Fabian Arends and Jonas Westergaard met him in the studio to at least work on the music, when concerts were hardly possible. Seizer looked at the notes and couldn’t play. “I was completely beside myself and just thought: What are they doing there? Fortunately, we are not only colleagues, but also good friends. I got a lot of support from them and others, and so I finally got back to the piano set and new pieces written.”
