Just like in the case of Triot, a cooperative trio featuring Finnish
saxophonist Mikko Innanen with Danish bassist Nicolai Munch-Hansen and
Danish drummer Stefan Pasborg that can be heard on Sudden Happiness
(TUM CD 008) with saxophonist John Tchicai, the establishment of
Delirium was a direct result of the fact that Mikko Innanen spent a
year studying at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory of Copenhagen in 1998
and 1999. Copenhagen has always had an active jazz scene and it did
not take long for Innanen to hook up with some of the local musicians
and fellow students at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory. In fact, Triot
was already established at the turn of the year whereas Delirium
followed in the spring of 1999 when Danish cornetist Kasper Tranberg
joined the group for a one-off performance and Munch-Hansen had to be
replaced by another Danish bassist Jonas Westergaard due to
conflicting commitments. After that time, the two groups have co
-existed, with Innanen and Pasborg as the common links, and gradually
Delirium has become the more regularly performing of the two.
In the three Danes, Innanen found kindred spirits who share his
interest in open improvisation based on the traditions of both
American and European modern jazz of the 1960s and 1970s. It is not
coincidental that DeliriumÆs instrumentation brings to mind that of
Ornette ColemanÆs quartet of the early 1960s or the Tomasz Stanko
-Edward Vesala Quartet of the 1970s. These two classic quartets and
the musical styles that they represented were very much in the minds
of Mikko Innanen and the other members of Delirium when they first
started working together and developing material for the group.
However, the music soon evolved into something of their own.
Upon its establishment, Delirium was able to start performing both in
and outside of Denmark. In connection with a tour of Finland and
Estonia in 2000, Delirium made a recording that was issued as Delirium
(Fiasko) in 2002. This recording was well received by both critics,
fellow musicians and the audience. Guitarist Pierre D°rge, the leader
of the New Jungle Orchestra and one of the best known Danish jazz
musicians of all time, had this to say about Delirium: ôWith Ornette
Coleman in the back pocket, the quartet play themselves into an
original universe. They paint intense pictures that are obscure and
straight-ahead û as well as wild and lyrical. A fascinating musical
journey with the new, young talents and their fresh view on tomorrowÆs
jazz.ö
After their initial recording, Delirium has continued to be one of the
principal groups for its members and has performed at a number of jazz
festivals, including the Tampere Jazz Happening in 2002 and the
Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Genova Jazz Expo and Grenoble Jazz Festival
in 2004. Also, the collective experience of its members outside of the
group has grown exponentially. In reading their resumes, one can only
conclude that the five years since the initial recording of Delirium
in 2000 have represented a busy time for its members. The students of
the year 2000 have become seasoned professionals. Fortunately, this
has not tempered down the music. Now, as in 2000, DeliriumÆs music is
characterized by a sense of adventure when they combine the tradition
of modern jazz with their own fresh take on that tradition filled with
the joy of freedom and experimentation. New elements, such as
increased ethnic influences, have also enriched the music even further
since the previous recording.
This second recording by Delirium was made in connection with its tour
of Finland in 2004. After a few performances around Finland, the group
entered the studio for two days and also recorded a live concert that
followed the studio sessions. On the final product, a mixture of
studio and live material was included in order to capture both the
more measured takes on the new compositions during the studio sessions
and, perhaps, the somewhat more Delirious atmosphere of the live
performance.
