The self-titled debut of the Danish quartet Spring reflects its label/musicians' collective credo: the platform for a young generation of Danish jazz musicians to present their personal statements and opinionated perspectives about the state of jazz today. And though Spring states that its compositions are inspired by free jazz, you can find in this fine recording the lyricism that is so identified with the Nordic jazz of the ECM school, but also refreshing doses of irony.
