Album Review: MIKKEL PLOUG TRIO - At Black Tornado

In a world where jazz can sometimes feel as predictable as a Sunday roast, Danish guitarist Mikkel Ploug and his trio serve up a refreshingly unpredictable feast in their latest album, "At Black Tornado." This record is like a rollercoaster ride through a musical amusement park, with unexpected twists and turns around every corner.

The opening track, "Swinging in the Rain," kicks things off with a bang, featuring Ploug's signature intricate guitar work weaving in and out of bassist Jeppe Skovbakke's funky grooves and drummer Sean Carpio's lightning-fast rolls. It's a toe-tapping, head-bopping good time that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Tracks like "Raining Cats and Jazz" and "Tornado Tango" showcase the trio's ability to seamlessly blend traditional jazz elements with more experimental sounds, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and fresh. Ploug's guitar playing is nothing short of mesmerizing, with each note feeling like both a comfortingly warm hug and an electrifying jolt of energy.

But it's not all serious business with the MIKKEL PLOUG TRIO. The album also features whimsical tracks like "Jazzercise" and "Funky Monkey Boogie," which serve as playful interludes between the more intense musical moments. It's this balance of light-hearted fun and serious musicianship that makes "At Black Tornado" a truly enjoyable listen from start to finish.

So grab your jazz hands and get ready to be swept away by the whirlwind of sound that is MIKKEL PLOUG TRIO's latest offering. Trust us, you won't want to miss this musical tornado.
