 | | Description: | â?Als wir die BĂŒhne betraten, fĂŒhlte es sich wie eine Heimkehr anâ?, sagt Jakob Bro ĂŒber diese im lyrischen
Gestus weit ausholende und von ExpressivitÀt aufgeladene Live-Aufnahme aus Kopenhagen. Auf ihr kommen
drei der wichtigsten Protagonisten der improvisierten Musik in DĂ€nemark â?? fĂŒhrende Musiker aus drei
Generationen des dĂ€nischen Jazz â?? zusammen. Das Konzert, das im Februar 2023 stattfand, war besonders
bedeutungsgeladen, da es die RĂŒckkehr des Trompeters Palle Mikkelborg auf die BĂŒhne markierte, der hier
einige seiner bedachtesten Linien vortrÀgt. Das Repertoire setzt sich aus Jakob Bros Alben Returnings
und Gefion zusammen und wird mit spontanem und neugierigem Geist angegangen, wÀhrend Marilyn
Mazurs subtile Perkussionssprache aus blĂŒhenden Gongs und Metallen und polternden Trommeln mit Bros
treibenden und plĂ€tschernden KlangflĂ€chen die StĂŒcke zu immer wieder neuen Formen verschmelzen lĂ€sst.
Die atmosphÀrischen QualitÀten der Musik wie auch ihre eruptiven Momente werden durch die resonante
Akustik der Danish Radio Concert Hall noch verstÀrkt. - Vinyl LP pressing. "When we walked out on stage it felt like a homecoming," says Jakob Bro of this texturally spacious and emotionally charged live recording from Copenhagen, on which three of the defining protagonists of improvisation in Denmark, leading musicians from three generations of Danish jazz, come together. The concert, in February 2023, was particularly poignant since it marked a return to performance for trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg, who delivers some of his most thoughtful playing here. Repertoire, drawn from Jakob Bro's Returnings and Gefion albums, is addressed in spontaneous and exploratory spirit, and transformed as Marilyn Mazur's subtle percussion language of blossoming gongs and metals and rumbling drums blends with Bro's drifting and rippling washes of sound. The music's atmospheric qualities, as well it's eruptive moments, are enhanced by the resonant acoustics of the Danish Radio Concert Hall.Recorded live at the Danish Radio Concert Hall

An ECM Production
? © 2023 ECM Records GmbH"Strands - Live at the Danish Radio Concert Hall" on LP captures an atmospheric live performance by the renowned trio Palle Mikkelborg, Jakob Bro and Marilyn Mazur, released by ECM Records. This album focuses on spacious soundscapes, subtle melodic development and a refined interplay that thrives on silence, resonance and the natural acoustics of the concert hall. Listeners can expect a journey through meditative passages, gently evolving motifs and dynamic peaks, where trumpet, guitar and percussion weave together in an almost cinematic narrative. The sound is characterised by clarity and air, making this LP particularly appealing for audiophile listeners who appreciate nuanced, acoustic live recordings.
The artistic concept of "Strands" revolves around lyrical improvisation and a thoughtful balance between composition and freedom. Rather than showcasing virtuosity for its own sake, the trio emphasises mood, colour and texture, allowing each tone to breathe and unfold. The live setting at the Danish Radio Concert Hall adds a sense of immediacy and intimacy: you can sense the room, the tension of the moment, and the subtle communication between the musicians. This gives the LP high replay value, as new details and delicate interactions become audible with each listen. It is ideal for quiet evenings, focused listening sessions or as an immersive backdrop for reading and reflection.
