Two Sides of Stunt: Jacob Anderskov and Jacob Christoffersen

Read "Two Sides of Stunt: Jacob Anderskov and Jacob Christoffersen" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard


Stunt Records is the most prominent jazz label in Denmark, and for a long time they have released high quality jazz, but other genres have also caught the attention of label heads, Søren Friis and Peter Littauer. However, there is a decidedly mainstream appeal to many of their releases and the voices of the so-called avant-garde are relatively rarely heard. There have been attempts earlier to cover the more experimental alleys of jazz with the series Stunt X, but it ...

Jacob Anderskov: Agnostic Revelations

Read "Agnostic Revelations" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Jacob Anderskov cerca una via propria, originale e anticonformista rispetto a tanto pianismo scandinavo ed europeo, in anni recenti sempre più scivolato nelle insipide sabbie mobili del tonalismo neoromantico e del modalismo neoeclettico, spesso più adatti ai fondali scenografici che a catturare l'attenzione. Quanto il pianista danese aveva fatto ascoltare nei dischi in trio con Michael Formanek e Anders Mogesen, ma anche nell'album registrato in solo quattro anni fa, Panta Rhei, viene qui ulteriormente sviluppato, con maggiore affondo nella dimensione ...

Jacob Anderskov: Panta Rhei

Read "Panta Rhei" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Leggere percussioni sul legno del pianoforte e distillati di note che potrebbero fungere da ideale commento ad una malinconica sequenza cinematografica, introducono Panta Rhei, avventura solitaria del pianista danese Anderson Jacob. E ne definiscono le coordinate stilistiche. Che sono quelle della musica eurocolta, del bozzetto piuttosto che dell’affresco, dell’improvvisazione come ricerca della bellezza del suono e valorizzazione dei silenzi piuttosto che esibizione virtuosistica. Ci si muove in punta di piedi, seguendo il flusso delle idee e delle emozioni. Lasciando all’ascoltatore ...

Jacob Anderskov Trio: On The Loose

Read "On The Loose" reviewed by Elliott Simon


About five years ago, Danish pianist Jacob Anderskov spent a prolonged period in NYC, during which he developed an imaginative partnership with the versatile downtown bassist Michael Formanek. Resulting releases from a trio, rounded out by drummer Anders Morgensen, have been adventurous undertakings of original music. On the Loose continues that course with five extended, semi-structured pieces that are each set off by short, freer cuts. The melodically accessible “Alibaba's Inauguration grabs hold with its pumping drum ...
