Album Description
Felix Tani’s Pilgrims and Poets: Live at Montmartre is a powerful blend of American and Nordic jazz traditions, creating a sound that is both energetic and deeply introspective. The music is swinging, melodic, and full of life, but it also leaves space for reflection and a touch of Swedish melancholy. Recorded live at the legendary Jazzclub Montmartre in Copenhagen, this album captures the raw energy and deep musical connection between four extraordinary musicians —Tomas Franck on saxophone, Felix Tani on piano, Daniel Franck on bass, and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums. This album is more than just a live recording. It is a journey of self-discovery and artistic expression, a musical pilgrimage that explores identity, emotion, and storytelling through improvisation. The interplay within the quartet is exceptional, with a rare unity that makes the group feel like a single entity, where egos dissolve, and the music takes on a life of its own. Felix’s compositions are deeply personal, balancing intricate harmonies with lyrical melodies and infectious grooves. The music bridges continents, drawing from both the European jazz tradition and the rhythmic energy of New York. Each piece tells a story, inviting listeners into a world where joy, struggle, contemplation, and celebration all coexist. This album is also a testament to lifelong musical relationships. Felix’s connection with Tomas Franck dates back to childhood, when Tomas played alongside Felix’s father. Felix and Daniel Franck have shared a musical journey since their teenage years, developing an unbreakable bond. The spark between Felix and Jeff "Tain" Watts was first ignited eight years ago at Montmartre during a jam session, making this album a full-circle moment. Beyond technique and virtuosity, Pilgrims and Poets is about presence, vulnerability, and artistic honesty. It celebrates jazz as an evolving conversation, a space where musicians meet in the moment to create something greater than themselves.
