Bio
The German sax player DANIEL ERDMANN and Estonian guitar player JAAK SOOÄÄR met at European Youth Jazz Orchestra '99 touring Europe for three weeks in July 1999. Since then the duo has performed in Germany (also at Europhonics Festival), France (at MusicORA Exhibition in Paris), Estonia (also at Jazzkaar and Pärnu Summer Jazz festivals), Lithuania (Kristupo Festival), Latvia, Russia and Denmark (also at Copenhagen Jazz Festival), they have also been joined by some interesting guest-musicians (renowned German trombone player Conrad Bauer and Danish cornetist Kasper Tranberg) and in December 2003 Dessert Time performed at Christmas Jazz Festival in Tallinn with Tallinn Boy's Choir. In July 2001 Erdmann/Sooäär Dessert Time won Grand Prix at Improvisation Contest based on Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg which was held in Pärnu, Estonia. In November 2004 Erdmann/Sooäär Dessert Time released their debut album 'Peer Gynt & Other Stories' (AVA Muusika). Dessert Time started new and promising co-operation with talented Norwegian singer GINE ANDERSSEN in February this year, which brings Dessert Time into new territories. 'German, Daniel Erdmann, on tenor sax and Estonian guitarist, Jaak Sooaar, together create a very European sound, expertly navigating a selection of short, precise and intricate pieces, packed with disjointed, almost unmusical figures that are, nevertheless, given substance by dint of being played in perfect unison. It creates a curious aural picture of a clockwork child locked in a xylophone factory at night, while at other times it sounds like Anthony Braxton jamming with the Magic Band's Zoot Horn Rollo. Above all, it's a good-natured, humorous recitation, enhanced by some first-class playing: Sooaar's electric guitar is uncluttered, clean and precise, while Erdmann makes his horn work hard, often taking advantage of the space within the compositions to ascend to a kind of fluttering, toneless, windy sound, like a metal bird flapping its wings.' (Daniel Spicer, allaboutjazz.com 11.05.05 about concert at Jazzkaar Festival in Tallinn) ..
