Quinsin Nachoff: Horizons Ensemble
by Jerry D'Souza
Saxophonist and composer Quinsin Nachoff continues his journey into chamber and contemporary music in his quest to extrapolate musical forms, as he leans into classical music and tempers it with his sense of jazz harmony.

Horizons Ensemble is the sublime follow-up to Quinsin Nachoff's stellar Songlines debut Magic Numbers (2006).

Quinsin Nachoff: Magic Numbers
by Troy Collins
On Magic Numbers, Canadian saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff debuts an ensemble that delivers on the promise originally offered by the Third Stream. Combining a free-wheeling, improvisational saxophone trio and a rigidly regimented but highly creative neo-classical string quartet, Nachoff has found an equitable way to integrate the best elements of both worlds. Nachoff's compositions are ...
Quinsin Nachoff: Magic Numbers
by John Kelman
