  • Description

    Jens Søndergaard, who received the Ben Webster award in 2017, is one of the most important saxophonists in Danish Jazz. Perhaps a little overlooked because he has also had a career as a dentist. He recently received the Ben Webster Award for his long and wonderful career.

    Now he has recorded The Brubeck-Desmond songbook, which is a return to the music that has gotten so many into the jazz. Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond are two of the most iconic composers in the history of Jazz. When you hear Jens Søndergaard interpret their repertoire with his regular quartet, it is difficult not to just sit back and enjoy how simple and elegant it can be done.

    The group included Kock Hansen, a great pianist, plus the steady Aage Tanggaard on drums and Swedish Lars Lundström on bass. It is performed with an elegance that shines through and it's clear that none of the players need to prove anything.
