Our Take
Our Take
Jens Sondergaard Quartet's latest offering, "Plays The Brubeck-Desmond Songbook," is a delightful homage to the iconic duo of Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond. From the moment you press play, you are transported back to a time when jazz was king and these two legends ruled the scene.
Sondergaard's quartet shines on every track, bringing a fresh energy to classics like "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk." Their spirited interpretations pay homage to the original compositions while injecting their own unique flair, proving that the Brubeck-Desmond magic is alive and well in 2021.
The interplay between Sondergaard on piano, the sultry saxophone of Lars Sondergaard, the steady bass of Niels Præstholm, and the dynamic drumming of Niclas Campagnol is nothing short of mesmerising. Each musician brings their A-game to the table, creating a cohesive sound that is both reverent and innovative.
The standout track, "Kathy's Waltz," is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with Sondergaard's playful piano work weaving effortlessly through Sondergaard's silky saxophone lines. It's a toe-tapping, head-bobbing delight that will have you hitting repeat again and again.
In a world where jazz can often feel stale and overdone, Jens Sondergaard Quartet breathes new life into these timeless classics. "Plays The Brubeck-Desmond Songbook" is a must-listen for jazz aficionados and newcomers alike. So sit back, pour yourself a cocktail, and let the smooth sounds of Sondergaard take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that!
