Burlington Discover Jazz Festival: Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld Duo

If you think you know the saxophone and violin, Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld will make you think again. Both successful solo artists, the Montréal-based musicians shed their indie-rock skins when performing as a duo. Together, they tap into complex soundscapes that explore jazz, classical, ambient and electronica. Haunting and hypnotic, these instrumental compositions populate the recently released album Never Were the Way She Was. Recorded in a Vermont farmhouse, the record pairs Stetson’s circular-breathing techniques on the sax with Neufeld’s violin loops. The two return to their musical stomping grounds as part of the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival.
