Description
Blackwater takes flight from the first notes. 8 lithe and subtle compositions by Henrik Jensen, written for the individual voices of Followed by Thirteen, has produced an album that is a compelling and repeat listen.
Forming in 2010, Followed by Thirteen released its debut album Qualia in 2013. Blackwater takes off from that first distinctive album, with a more sophisticated reach and depth in composition, which enables a rich and dynamic rapport between these four distinct musicians. Here is a quartet of players which truly encapsulates the cultural diversity and vitality of the London jazz scene -- with varied influences and backgrounds -- that nevertheless nods clearly to the jazz tradition and Jensen's inspirations, from Thelonious Monk through to Drew Gress' quartet of the same line-up.
The album launch tour crosses the UK through September, with Blackwater's London launch at the Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho on 26 September.
Henrik Jensen -- double bass Andre Canniere -- trumpet/flugelhorn
Esben Tjalve -- piano Antonio Fusco -- drums
