In 2010 Tetraphonics flew to England and had the pleasure to work with renowned british saxophonist Barbara Thomson and her husband Jon Hiseman on a music video of sorts. The piece is called 'Geeen', one of six movements from her Quartet No.2 for saxophone quartet.


We filmed this on a beautiful sheep farm outside of London and paired it with the recording we made on our latest CD, The Invitation. We hope you enjoy!

Very nice. I first became aware of Barbara when I saw the United Jazz + Rock Ensemble at a jazz festival in Germany in 1992 or 1993. From then on, I caught her every couple of years with them or in various settings. She's a very talented musician. It seems that she has her Parkinson's disease under control. How is she doing?

Oh - about the music, itself. Was there a connection between the melodic theme and Northumbrian pipe melodies?
