The overall mood may best be described as funereal, epitomizing themes of a mostly exploratory nature, interrupted all too seldom by ...

Pernille Bévort: Roundabouts And Novellas

Read "Pernille Bévort: Roundabouts And Novellas" reviewed by Ian Patterson


It's been over three years since multi-reedist, singer composer and arranger Pernille Bévort released Perfect Organisation (Gateway, 2011), her outstanding bringing together of jazz and tango nuevo that featured bandoneon player Marcelo Nisinman. Bévort, however, hasn't been slacking off in any way in the intervening years, oh no. She's simply been occupied in the execution of ...
