Ben Sidran: The First Existential Jazz Rapper
by Joan Gannij
Ben Sidran is an old school hipster in the authentic sense of the word. He's a no frills, musician's musician who's got the heart, got the chops. He's been there, done that, and ready to do more. Sidran has never been interested in following trends or squeezing into categories and is not about to start now. ...
Morten Schantz: Unicorn
by Ian Patterson
Danish pianist/composer Morten Schantz is probably best known as one fifth of JazzKamikaze, the globe-trotting band he formed in 2005 with Marius Neset, Kristor Brødsgaard, Daniel Heløy Davidsen and Anton Eger. That may be about to change, as the solo album Unicorn marks a significant wind change in Schantz's trajectory. Inspired writing and scintillating collective playing ...
Danish Radio Big Band: Spirituals
by Chris Mosey
There is a curiously old fashioned feel to this, first album of a new era for the Danish Radio Big Band under its freshly appointed leader, Norwegian Birger Carlsen. The white folks sit on the veranda of “the big house" sipping their mint juleps as “their" blacks happily pick cotton and sing about ...
Lars Greve: Breidablik
by Jakob Baekgaard
The beautiful cover of Danish saxophonist Lars Greve's album Breidablik has a secret that only reveals itself when looking closely at the surface. The name of the artist is hidden in the corner, printed with almost invisible letters, while all attention is directed towards an abstract sublime image. Is it nature or not? ...
Danish Radio Big Band: A Good Time Was Had By All
by Chris Mosey
To paraphrase Shakespeare, there is something rockin' in the state of Denmark. It's the Danish Radio Big Band, best of its kind in Europe, indeed--depending on who is conducting and the mood of the players--on occasion best in the world. Against all the odds in these cash-strapped times, the DRBB, as it is universally known, is ...
Thomas Hass: Trio's & Beyond Lotus Energy
by Chris Mosey
The packaging starts you thinking. There's a painting showing what looks like ectoplasm, or perhaps a space alien, playing two musical instruments at the same time, like Roland Kirk used to do. Then the cunning addition of an apostrophe in the Trios of the title, to render it meaningless, or perhaps abstract. Inside ...

Simon Toldam Trio: Kig Op 14
by Jakob Baekgaard
Music is a sensory art. Hands touching the keyboard, bass strings that are plucked and the rustling of cymbals. Sounds form patterns and familiar sounds become clichés and then the trouble starts. The immediacy of the first movement, that first touch is lost. In a sense, every musician battles this process that dulls the listener's senses ...
Pierre Dorge and New Jungle Orchestra: Tjak Tjaka Tchicai
by Maurizio Zerbo
Gli appassionati del jazz orchestrale non si lasceranno certamente sfuggire questo CD, che Pierre Dorge dedica al sodale John Tchicai scomparso nel 2013. Le undici composizioni proposte non si discostano dall'estetica sino ad oggi perseguita dal chitarrista danese. Vi si scorge ancora una volta un personale ripensamento del jazz orchestrale d'avanguardia attraverso una condotta strumentale ludica ...
Nils Davidsen: Noget at glæde sig til
by Alberto Bazzurro
Quarantotto anni, danese, il contrabbassista Nils Bosse Davidsen ha deciso nel corso del 2013 di raccogliersi fra sé e sé e dare alla luce una serie di solo performances che lo vedono misurarsi sia con lo strumento puro e semplice (sette brani) sia con sovraincisioni varie (i restanti quattro). Maestro in particolare dell'archetto, ...
