Jacob Anderskov’s RESONANCE:

Cæcilie Balling (violin)

Mette Brandt (viola)

Jacob Anderskov (piano)

Jonas Westergaard (bass)

Peter Bruun (drums)

Jacob Anderskov er blevet beskrevet af den internationale presse som “a dazzling new force in European jazz” (Jazzwise), og hans orkester RESONANCE blander ubesværet elementer fra klassisk musik, ny musik, verdensmusik, jazz og improvisationsmusik. Resultatet skal høres!, men derefter er man ikke i tvivl om hvad der er på færde.

Mødet mellem strygere og rytmegruppe understreger den poetiske skønhed i Anderskovs musik. Musikken er storslået og simplistisk, lyrisk og dog uforudsigelig – og yderst umiddelbart fængende.

I dette efterår er Jonas Westergaard trådt ind i orkesteret, og et nyt kapitel i orkesterets historie er begyndt.

Jacob Anderskov har modtaget adskillige priser for sin musik, og var nomineret til Nordisk Råds Musikpris 2018 for sit seneste album med netop dette orkester.

ENGLISH

Jacob Anderskov has been widely hailed as “a dazzling new force in European jazz” (Jazzwise), and his RESONANCE project moves effortlessly around the areas between improvisation, new music, jazz, folk music and European classical music. Consisting of three virtuoso string players, who highlight a poetic beauty in Anderskov’s music, alongside the strong improvisations of Peter Bruun (drums/percussion) & Anderskov himself on piano, the music is grandiose and simplistic, lyrical yet experimental and immediate.

Pianist, band leader and composer Jacob Anderskov, has received numerous awards, including “Danish Jazz Composer of the Year 2013” at the Danish Music Awards and has released 25+ albums as a bandleader. He draws on his vast experience as a professional pianist and composer, his violin studies as a child, as well as his many years of immersion in 20th century “new music”. Yet the resulting music is more Anderskovian than it is “classical” or “jazz”. He is inspired by a Miles Davis quotation, “You listen… then you play” – to react meaningfully with others depends on your ability to take in your surroundings whilst acting in accordance with who you are – resulting in genuine interplay.

Reviews:

“Anderskov expands sonic language of Danish Jazz. … Superb.” Peter Margasak, Down Beat, March 2013

“Danish pianist Anderskov has been remarkably prolific over the past decade or so, winning multiple awards and being widely hailed as a dazzling new force in European jazz. (…) Anderskov himself proves on track after track that virtuosity and vision don ́t have to be mutually exclusive”. Marcus O’Dair, Jazzwise Magazine, May 2013

“Over the last decade or so, pianist Jacob Anderskov has emerged as one of the most exciting and original voices … deeply modern…” Down Beat, November 2010

No. 2 i 4 formblokke

Søren Kjærgaard, piano

Peter Bruun, slagtøj

Jonas Westergaard, kontrabas og komposition

….spiller d.18.nov i Koncertkirken, København, no. 2, første gang opført i 2014 i Reservenspeicher, Berlin.

No. 2, skrevet af Jonas Westergaard, er en åben form, der falder i 4 formblokke. Det improvisatoriske element, som en stedse eksisterende mulighed, tildeler de tre musikere råderum og -ret til, på ethvert givent tidspunkt, at indføre vektorer, der udvider det musikalske rum. De involverede musikere giver værket plasticitet, idet de bestandigt angriber og belyser det givne materiale fra skiftende perspektiver.

Det er tre musikere, der kender hinanden usædvanligt godt, og som på kryds og tværs har præget den europæiske musikscene igennem to årtier, der sammen fremfører aftenens program.

Vi byder velkommen til en live oplevelse af dette værk, inden det bliver indspillet i feb 2020.
