Nordic Connect: Flurry

Read "Flurry" reviewed by Budd Kopman


The word “mainstream" has come to have virtually no meaning except perhaps that a regular rhythmic pulse of some kind (not necessarily “swinging") can be felt.

Nordic Connect: Flurry

Read "Flurry" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Trumpeter Ingrid Jensen's profile has risen on her featured soloist work with the Maria Schneider Orchestra. She has her own career as a leader--her At Sea (ArtistShare, '06) garnered several glowing reviews on this website. Her Nordic Connect outing, Flurry should lift that profile to the highest level.Jensen has teamed with her sister, alto ...
