Description
Jacob Artved is the youngest of a very talented new generation of Danish jazz guitar players. At the age of 20 he has already been a working musician for years, being introduced on the scene by Danish guitar legend Jacob Fischer at the age of 15. He was admitted to the Royal Academy of Music as the youngest student ever, but chose to drop out, move to New York and spent the long nights jamming instead.
On this live-recording from the legendary Jazz club Montmartre in Copenhagen he features with one of the greatest drummers of all time, Mr. Louis Hayes. In a very special way Hayes is the connection back to the most legendary period of jazz when he in 1962 sat behind the drums backing Bud Powell and Nat & Julian "Cannonball" Adderly. The creators of Bebop and modern jazz. On this release, Jacob Artved bridges multiple generations and shows us why this artform is more alive than ever.
The album was recorded during three sold out shows during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2019. The opening track, the upbeat Exodus, is a track that showcases both the albums bebop roots as well as Artved's signature cut -through guitar tone. Exodus has plenty of space to showcase both Hayes as well as pianist Jep Patton.
