Frekvens Frekvens - Vandborg (2016) JAEGER COMMUNITY

Frekvens Frekvens presents their debut album, Vandborg.

The music is honest and earnest, connecting nordic jazz, contemporary classical music, the Danish songbook, avant-garde jazz and the free approach to music, and with an urge to seek limits. The album got its name from the town on the west coast that have offered room and atmosphere for this album to be made. The music is shaped in and by Vandborg.

The peace and clarity of the Danish West Coast’s is woven into this debut album. The compositions speak their own language, and tell stories of love, fear, hope and friendship.

We are all human, and that is what this music is about.

I Think You're Awesome - Books & Books Live (2016)

March 2016 sees I Think You’re Awesome releasing their two new albums Books and Books Live. The CD’s are preceded by a video-concert/documentary of the entire Books repertoire recorded at my, bandleader, bass player and composer Jens Mikkel Madsen’s childhood home.

The CD’s and video features the same 7 songs in different versions. All the tunes a loosely inspired by passages in some of my favorite Books, hence the name. Where the group’s first release “Løft mig op, så jeg kan nå” (Translates: Lift me up so I can reach) was a statement on how we need our friends and family to help us achieve our goals and dreams, and how we shouldn’t think any less of ourselves when accepting this help, “Books” is about how our shared cultural heritage as human beings from books, music, art and all the other things men and women use to express themselves, is an endless source of inspiration and means to understand our own being.

The reason for the joined release of both the live and studio-material is, that none of the records in itself paints the entire picture of I Think You’re Awesome. Being a group of both prominent Danish jazz- and pop musicians both the studio-work with its attention to detail in sound and layers and the freer vibe of a live- concert comes natural, and I think the tunes come to life in different ways in the different settings, and that it would feel unnatural not to show both sides of the band with these releases.

We call the music indiejazz. It’s playful, melodic, full of rhythm and groove and with an open ear for improvisation, but also drawing on inspiration from the harmony, melodies and most of all sound and feel of modern pop music.

HISTORIE

Det Er Allerede Sommer – Erlend Loe – Naiv, Super

Da vores hovedperson med galopperende depression beslutter sig for at vie sit liv til et bankebræt og at passe en dreng fra samme boligblok, får han som en slags aktivering besked på at købe en bil for sin bror (så vidt jeg husker) – her møder han en sælger, der med et smil signalerer, at der med denne bil, de netop iagttager, er lovet fuld fart fremad og solskin hele dagen. Salgstrick eller ej, er det et vendepunkt i bogen.

Jeg lider selv af depressioner, og når de aftager er det som om en tåge letter, og lyset finder vej ind igen, og at det allerede er sommer.

Three Day Open Season – Ernest Hemingway – Døden kommer om eftermiddagen

I Hemingways tyrefægtnings-bog Døden Kommer om Eftermiddagen finder forfatteren anledningen til at lufte sine ideer om en tre dages sæson for menneskejagt. Til trods for dette rimelig fascistoide synspunkt, som jeg så langt fra selv deler, endsige tror jeg ville overleve, er der noget i Hemingways syn på ægthed, ære og liv, der er inspirerende. Jeg kan ikke prale af at have levet mit liv med lige så kompromisløs passion som Papa, men jeg nyder hans forfatterskab – menneskejagt eller ej.

Everyone’s A Comedian – Alan Moore / Dave Gibbons – Watchmen

Alan Moores tegneserie-roman starter med mordet på ex-superhelten The Comedian. Uden at afsløre bogens plot, myrdes han fordi han har opdaget en sandhed, der efter hans tårekvalte ord er ”all a joke”

Watchmen er på alle måder et fantastisk stykke kold-krigs litteratur. Og The Comedians rolle i den er een, jeg stadig efter flere gennemlæsninger, forsøger at forstå helt. Han er ifølge bogen selv en parodi, en spejling på os alle, på samfundet og på den amerikanske drøm. Han er helt stensikkert også et røvhul.

The Short Version of the Serenity Prayer – James Lee Burke – Dave Robicheaux serien

James Lee Burke er min yndlingsforfatter. Hans bøger driver med metaforer, patos og politisk idealisme, som ingen andre kriminalromaner. Og selvom nogen måske vil synes hans skriverier er noget svulstige, har jeg endnu til gode at læse en dårlig bog fra hans hånd.

Hans mest kendte bøger er fra serien om detektiven Dave Robicheaux. Han er som de fleste detektiver i litteraturhistorien alkoholiker, og meget af hans moralske kompas er taget fra anonyme alkoholikeres håndbog, og måske mere direkte kristendommen. Det er et benhårdt moral-kodeks, der byder ham en urokkelig loyalitet overfor sin familie og venner og en fuldstændig dedikation til sit arbejde med at beskytte samfundet for dets mest skruppelløse borgere – oftest oliemilliardærer, tv-prædikanter, børshajer og oligarker.

Jeg deler ikke Robicheauxs tro, hverken på vorherre eller AA, men jeg deler desværre noget af hans svaghed for alkohol.

The Serenity Prayer er den bøn, der i det amerikanske AA, indleder hvert møde. Den korte version er ifølge Robicheaux ”fuck it!”

People Who Love Each Other – Paul Auster – Brooklyn Dårskab

Af alle de Auster bøger, jeg har læst, er Brooklyn Dårskab, den der rummer det mest positive og optimistiske budskab, synes jeg. Selvom skilsmisser, utroskab, svigt, sygdom, død, bedrag og undertrykkelse indgår på næsten hver side, rummer bogen en ukuelig tro på livet, og en anerkendelse af hvor vigtig kærlighed, af alle slags, mellem mennesker er.

No 5 with a Bullet – Nick Hornby – Hi-Fidelity 

I Nick Hornbys bog High Fidelity, der for mig at se i bund og grund er en historie om at blive voksen, opremser hovedpersonen Rob Fleming (i filmen Rob Gordon) sit livs mest smertefulde break-ups. Han benytter samme lejlighed til at berette genstanden for sit seneste brud, at hun så langt fra er på top-fem, men da han, efter at have opdaget, at hun har en affære med deres tidligere overbo, piner sig selv med mentale billeder af hende i seng med andre, må han overfor hende og alle os andre indrømme, at hun har sneget sig ind på femtepladsen og er yderligere på vej op. No 5 with a bullet.

Alting, Hele Tiden – Charles Bukowski – Med det hele

I den anden ende af generel tiltro til andre menneskers velvilje og kærlighed overfor dig og din egen ditto, er Bukowski. I Med Det Hele, eller Ham on Rye, er det, der er galt med verden såmænd bare alting, hele tiden. Af en misantrop at være, synes jeg Bukowski er et smukt menneske, og som forfatter er han efter min stilfærdige mening, genial.

Emil Brandqvist Trio - Falling Crystals (2016) SKIP RECORDS

PRESENT

Emil Brandqvist Trio - Falling Crystals (2016)

Over the last few years drummer Emil Brandqvist from Gothenburg, Sweden, played his way into the intimate upper ranks of European Jazz; his trio stands for low-key, picturesque, touching melodies and sounds that remain with listeners.

Together with pianist Tuomas Turunen from Finland and Max Thornberg from Stockholm on double bass, one of the trademarks for this multinational Scandinavian ensemble has been that the trio eagerly brings in guests to the studio to put the finishing brushstrokes on their audiophonic paintings. Much like designing a portrait, their music builds to reveal more and more layers.

On “Breathe Out” (SKP 9115), their first album for SKIP in 2013, it was the Sjöströmska String Quartet from Gothenburg that set gem-like accents. For the following album entitled “Seascapes” (SKP 9128), Emil Brandqvist and his trio invited a number of woodwinds and horns to add greater density to the atmospheric settings: flutes, clarinets, bass clarinets and flugelhorns.

“Falling Crystals” (SKP 9135) enhances the listeners’ range via moods and compositional structures that underscore just how exceptional these three ‘northern lights’ are. The aura and music were sensitively captured by Åke Linton, a Swedish studio legend whose credentials already include work with Bobo Stenson, Lars Danielsson and the Esbjörn Svensson Trio.

“The Sea Begins To Freeze” reveals an opening theme reminiscent of film noir in which Emil Brandqvist has revived his collaboration with the Sjöströmstra String Quartet. On the composition by Tuomas Turunen named “A Day In Memories”, synthesizer inserts turn the tables to astonishing effect. On “Longing”, bass-player Max Thornberg lets his bowing display a North African coloring to match the desire in the track’s name. “Shine” is equally surprising: Despite all the Nordic roots, here the trio shows that it too was raised on the kind of Jazz made famous by great trios ‘way back when’ in the USA. The whole album sparkles with solid compositions, a lasting sound where the trio definitively ‘shows its stuff’. In 2016 concert-goers in our latitudes will be able to look forward to more concerts from the Emil Brandqvist Trio than ever before; delightful evenings that may very well close with the bouncy lilt heard on “Through The Forest”.
