There was no plan to do it, not on paper not on a wish list, maybe just when someone asked. Will you ever do an album in Danish. I would answer yeah, maybe one day, not giving it more thought, until that day suddenly unexpected came around. One of my best friends who know all about my life and also happens to be the author of my biography “Vagabond”, Lars Daneskov. One day sent me the lyrics to one song. I had never in my entire career sung other peoples lyrics or written music to lyrics, so this would now be the first time.

Recording ‘Cornerstones – Chamber Music Masterpieces’ has been a labour of love, allowing me to revisit music I first encountered in my student days. Written between 1899 and 1957, these works are not simply trumpet pieces with piano accompaniment, but rather chamber music masterpieces, requiring a true collaboration between trumpeter and pianist. Luisa’s enthusiasm for these cornerstones of any trumpet player’s repertoire has been inspiring, and indeed deepened my understanding of, and appreciation for, this music I have known and loved for so long.

ZILT originated in a whiskey bar on Zeedijk, Amsterdam. Here tenor saxophonist Jasper Blom and trumpeter Ian Cleaver, teacher and student respectively, dedicated themselves every week to compositions by Misha Mengelberg, and by Duke Ellington: jazz legends from different eras and with a similarly open and playful character. ZILT interweaves their compositions through improvising. At this concert, ZILT will present a new album on Just Listen Records.

Although the originality of Georgi Catoire's musical language paved the way for Russian modernism, his output still followed the artistic ideals of Russia and not the new culture of the Soviet Republic. His highly expressive work is characterised by polyphonic density, heightened expressiveness, variety of colour, and a wide rhythmic and harmonic mix. Catoire's music was rarely performed in his day, his name being largely unknown. He left behind 36 works, including symphonic pieces, a piano concerto, chamber music, songs and piano cycles. This music was written in the fin de siècle style, which combined brilliance and nobility with fragility.

The second quintet of Miles Davis was one of the most innovative Ensembles in the history of Jazz.

P., Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti, Miles in the Sky, Filles de Kilimanjaro and Water Babies.

It is hard to listen to a posthumous released recording without reflecting on what the world has lost in their absence. Pianist and composer Frank Kimbrough was an individual who was beloved by all who knew him. A true musician’s musician and mentor to many, Kimbrough’s legacy lives on in his work and the lives that he touched. His passing in 2020 has left a hole in the heart of the jazz world.

Muddy Monk's creative journey began in 2018 with 'Longue Ride', a cathartic debut album that was unanimously acclaimed by the critics. In 2020, he returned with 'Ultra Tape', a mixtape album. With 'Ultra Dramatic Kid', Muddy Monk delivers a radical change. An electric album and a sublime dive into his universe, which draws equally from Daft Punk, Rage Against The Machine and Travis Scott. An uncompromising album in which it is a pleasure to get lost in.
