The instruments of this outstanding jazz musician are the soprano and tenor saxophone, and his play is characterised by a sensitive, ‘subjective' sound and an improvisational way of driving the melody. András Dés is a percussionist. He has developed a unique drum set for himself over the years, and also plays a number of hand-held percussion instruments, including the can and the gardon, instruments from the Latin American tradition, and framed drums from around the world.
