Untraditional variations of ragtime, beautiful impressionistic
landscapes and a wild energy heard seldom in a Danish jazz trio,
makes the S°ren Kjµrgaard Trio a very interesting rising on the
scene, and the double release ôAmfebiaö and ôAkustikaö resembles a
new sound of the classic piano trio setting.
ôAkustikaö, which was recorded live at the Copenhagen Jazzhouse is a
journey through this great new sound. The music is poetic, yet right
on, and you feel the creative live energy all the way through the
album, as the trio is breathing as one unit in a powerful coherence.
The music is composed mainly by S°ren Kjµrgaard, and the tunes vary
from being in one groove, one vibe, to suite like compositions. The
pianistic expression is reminiscent of both Duke Ellington, Debussy
and Kieth Jarret, and this new shooting star on the scene demands his
attention. Since S°ren Kjµrgaard won the acclaimed Nordic Young Jazz
competition in 2000, he has been busy on the scene among some of the
most talented Danish jazz artists, and performing internationally
with a.o. Michael Blake, Tim Berne, Herb Robertson, Jim Black and
Stephen Bernstein. His approach to the piano is both classic and
unorthodox. Virtuosic sheets of sound goes hand in hand with prepared
sounds and edgy frasing. A tone which reveals studies in the colorful
history of the piano litterature. for more, www.sorenkjaergaard.com
