Thomas Clausen: Brazilian Quartet
by Jim Josselyn
The rhythms of Latin music have crossed many cultural and geographic borders. Throughout history the Latin influence has made a strong mark on classical, jazz, pop, rock and a variety of world music. German pianist and composer Thomas Clausen puts his hand in the pot with his latest effort, “Brazilian Quartet". The set opens with “The ...
Uffe Steen: Play
by David Adler
Uffe Steen, the 47-year-old Danish guitarist, rips it up on this new live record, culled from three European performances in mid-September of last year. Steen is joined by his countryman Lennart Ginman on double bass and none other than Adam Nussbaum on drums. Nussbaum, of course, has logged many hours backing major American axemen like Mike ...
The Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra: The Voice of Silence
by Jack Bowers
This unconventional album by the DRJO consists of a nine–part suite written by Palle Mikkelborg as “an homage to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art” (which is not in the Louisiana that encircles the mouth of the Mississippi River but in the Danish town of Humlebaek, about 30 km north of Copenhagen). The museum was established ...
Mads Vinding Trio: Six Hands Three Minds One Heart
by David Adler
This Danish trio, led by veteran bassist Mads Vinding, also features the veteran drummer Alex Riel and the younger, up-and-coming pianist Carsten Dahl. Recorded on a single evening in June 1999 at Copenhagen’s Jazzhouse, the disc unfolds like a well-crafted story. The trio takes “I Hear a Rhapsody," “All Blues," and “Autumn Leaves" all at a ...
The Jazzpar Combo 1999: Shortcuts
by Jack Bowers
Deducing how this album by the Jazzpar Combo came about is rather tricky business. Each year, Denmark’s prestigious Jazzpar Prize is awarded to an outstanding musician who is, as a part of the honor, given a recording date with sidemen of his or her own choice. In 1999 the Jazzpar Prize was bestowed on French pianist ...
The Per Henrik Wallin Trio: 9 * 9 * 99
by Jack Bowers
Per Henrik Wallin is a remarkable pianist, and listening to his trio in this concert performance is a memorable experience. Wallin, paralyzed from the waist down by an accident in 1988, can no longer use the pedals while playing but has compensated so well by altering his touch that one scarcely notices the shortcoming (if indeed ...
The Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra: Impulsive! The Music of Eliane Elias
by Jack Bowers
The compositions on Impulsive! are by Brazilian–bred Elias, the charts by Kansas City’s Bob Brookmeyer, and they — and the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra — form an impressively cosmopolitan team. Orchestrally speaking, Brookmeyer gets the most out of each of Elias’ half–dozen charming melodies, sketching them in bold and brilliant colors, while the DRJO plays them ...
Pierre D: Zig Zag Zimfoni
by Jack Bowers
Pierre Dørge’s well–upholstered New Jungle Orchestra plays world music, and does so quite well. It hardly ever plays Jazz, at least not in the customary sense of the word (although some improvisation is evidently involved). So if it’s straight–arrow Jazz you crave, look elsewhere. What you’ll find on Zig Zag Zimfoni is a series of musical ...
Mads Vinding Trio / Bob Brookmeyer & Mads Vinding: Daddio Don / Together
by C. Michael Bailey
Close Spaces. These two recordings find Scandinavian bassist Mads Vinding operating in the relatively close spaces of the jazz trio and duo. Vinding is a kind of Nordic George Mraz, playing with a rare full-throated and confident tone capable of providing the environment of a full rhythm section while in the absence of such. Vinding is ...
