Alexandra Lehmler

Born: October 30

No time for rotating empty phrases: it goes straight forward in the third album of the Mannheim saxophonist Alexandra Lehmler. Her music has all attributes which one ascribes with pleasure to the "male" jazz: Sovereign in its presentation, complex, but not complicated. With clear perceptible roots and own expression. Briefly, from the belly coming, grown music which still marks thought thru considerations. The title of the album, "No Blah Blah" (published on Thomas Siffling's label "JAZZ'n'ARTS" and promoted from the „initiative of music“), is the theme. The compositions are substantial and exciting; the whole draught of this CD is attractive

Tom Harrison

For alto saxophonist/composer Tom Harrison, the art of jazz is far more than mastery of the instrument, fluency in the repertoire and respect for the tradition. For Tom, the real undertaking is to connect with that which inspired the immortals of jazz, and to cultivate it within his own work. "While the masters represent an extraordinary level of accomplishment, the inspiration they provide me is the pursuit not just of their greatness but of the essence of that greatness. This is what fuels my passion." More than drawing inspiration from those giants, Tom is also making a serious commitment to jazz expression through his collaborations with living artists who are strongly connected to the heritage of jazz

Jesper Zeuthen Trio

Born: 1949

Press release - Jesper Zeuthen Trio Live (Blackout 035) Jesper Zeuthen Trio Live is a continuation of the process that began with the formation of Jesper Zeuthen Trio and the recording of its debut album, simply called Jesper Zeuthen Trio, released in 2010. As with the first CD, Live is a no-nonsense product both in musical content, title and cover art (by Zeuthen himself). Live presents a trio that has matured through intense rehearsals and numerous concerts in Denmark and Germany, up to the point where the group’s repertoire of around 30 Zeuthen tunes has been internalized into the DNA of the three musicians, making the compositions a framework for extended and unpredictable improvisation. When choosing the location for recording the CD, Jesper Zeuthen picked Literaturhaus ��" a former church close to his home in Copenhagen, situated in an area offering as much cultural and national diversity as that of his own music
