Mikko Innanen / Cedric Piromalli / Stefan Pasborg: Can You Hear It?
by Glenn Astarita
In the world of jazz, where the unexpected often becomes the standard, the sophomore album from the international trio of Mikko Innanen, Stefan Pasborg and Cédric Piromall, aptly named Can You Hear It?, plays like a delightful curveball that even seasoned jazz aficionados didn't see coming. This album is to conventional jazz what a saxophone solo is to a quiet library--utterly captivating and wonderfully out of place. Imagine if the Hammond organ got bored of its usual gigs ...

by Mark Corroto
When a Finn, a Dane, and a Frenchman take on the organ trio genre expect it to be funky and supercool. And This is It is just that. This new group pivots around Cedric Piromalli's Hammond organ in ways you might expect if you are a fan of the Blue Note 1960s sounds of Big John Patton and Larry Young. Then again This is It also flirts with a combination of go-go boots, prog rock, and some future shock.

by Jakob Baekgaard
Danish drummer Stefan Pasborg has never been afraid of throwing himself into ambitious experiments. He released the acclaimed triple album Triplepoint (ILK Music, 2007), has played a six-hour concert with his organ funk trio Ibrahim Electric, and translated the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky's universe into atmospheric jazz rock on the album The Firebirds (ILK Music, 2015). Like his mentor, Danish drum icon Alex Riel, Pasborg, Pasborg has a gift for hearing rhythms, and has played since Riel ...
read moreStefan Pasborg: The Firebirds
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il quarantenne batterista danese Stefan Pasborg, un carnet di collaborazioni veramente cospicuo e brillante, è l'artefice di questo ambizioso progetto discografico che consiste nella rilettura di due dei massimi capolavori stravinskyani, L'uccello di fuoco (1910) e La sagra della primavera (1913), integrati (ultimo pezzo) da un ulteriore balletto del 1948 opera di Khachaturian. La trasfigurazione per trio del tutto appare però, a conti fatti, un po' troppo cospicua, ma è comunque il livello globale della musica proposta, ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Disco rock, oppure jazz, se non free, magari funk, o ...? Il dubbio sorge leggendo fianco a fianco i nomi di Ornette Coleman e King Crimson, Albert Ayler e Led Zeppelin, Duke Ellington e White Stripes. Niente paura perché il batterista Stefan Pasborg (nipote dello storico batterista Alex Riel) e gli Odessa X-Large, una sorta di interscambio tra Odessa 5 ed Ibrahim Electric, sono abituati a scherzare con i generi, a manipolare il materiale dalla provenienza più eterogenea per trasformarlo ...
read moreStefan Pasborg & Liudas Mockunas: Toxicum
by John Kelman
Toxicum means poison, and that's about as good a description as any of this band and its music. More traditional musical ideas are perverted by a modern creative music bent that makes for an ambitious concept, and even more audacious listening; to call this album challenging would be an understatement. Percussionist Stefan Pasborg is a young Dane who has, in the past several years, studied with artists including Joey Baron, Jim Black and Daniel Humair--and given his ...
