Sinne Eeg & Jacob Christoffersen: Shikiori 想帰庵

Read "Shikiori 想帰庵" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Vocalist Sinne Eeg and pianist Jacob Christoffersen have been collaborating for two decades. Surprisingly, though, this is their first duo album. And it's a beaut--truly well worth the wait. The musicianship from each is first-rate, their chemistry is palpable, the material--a balanced mix of originals and familiar fare--is both highly sophisticated and completely accessible, and the recording quality is excellent. Shikiori--a 150-year-old home in the Japanese countryside--possesses an aura of tradition and reverence that permeates this entire ...

Jacob Christoffersen: Facing The Sun

Read "Facing The Sun" reviewed by Annika Westman


Denmark has a great jazz tradition. Just like Paris, Copenhagen has been a haven for jazz musicians in exile (from the US, South Africa, etc.) for decades. Jazz has had a strong position in the city since the '40s, and many great players have been produced in this fertile climate, the best known being Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. Well, here is another one that deserves international success: pianist Jacob Christoffersen.
