Description
The future of jazz has always been shaped by young jazz musicians seeing new modes of expression. From Copenhagen and Denmark, we are proud to introduce the new orchestra Tabloid. From their different musical backgrounds, the band members, Johannes Wamberg (guitar), Jonathan Bremer (bass), Oilly Wallace (saxophone), Felix Ewert (drums) and Malthe Rostrup (keys) have from day one made their mark on the growing, roaring, and vibrant young Danish jazz scene. Without having released one song, they had already played a lot of sold-out shows, including three days in a row during Copenhagen Jazz Festival. The first album release is the self-titled 'Tabloid'.With simple melodies wrapped in more complex harmonies, Tabloid gives us a modern 21st century jazz/soul. It's no secret that Johannes Wamberg, the composer, is a fan of the American jazz/funk/soul sound from the 70'es & 80's but by adding the young band members with a background in classic jazz and the new Danish pop (soul) scene, they bring the sound up to date. The songs on the album are groovy (and danceable), but also includes ballads.
