You can”t claim to know anything about Danish jazz unless you”re familiar with the great and beloved tenor saxophonist Jakob Dinesen – aka Dino.
Dinesen”s reputation as a versatile and virtuosic saxophonist has brought him all over the world and has cemented him as one of Denmark”s most sought-after musicians, performing with jazz, rock, pop and world music elite for the past 30 years. Now, at the age of 54, he is a fully-formed, dynamic tenor titan with an instantly recognisable voice. His sound on tenor has a tenderness that”s totally his own, and his phrases glide and soar with a seemingly effortless technical command of the instrument.
In early December 2021, Dino travelled to the United States to record with one of his heroes – legendary American drummeer Jeff ”Tain” Watts – who at 62 years old is considered by many to be the most prominent and influential drummer of his generation. In addition to Dino and Tain, this resultant album also features two young virtuosos from Denmark – guitarist Jacob Artved and bassist Felix Moseholm – both stillin their twenties but making waves with their incredible talent, drive and taste.
The result is a recording that takes listeners on a journey offering plenty of room for each of the four musicians to shine brighter than ever before.
Jakob Dinesen – tenor saxophone; Jeff ”Tain” Watts – drums; Jacob Artved – guitar; Felix Moseholm – bass.
