Kathrine Jenkin

Kathrine Windfeld returns with her fifth release as a leader - and the first with her dream team sextet! The acclaimed instrumentalist and composer leaves her celebrated big band setting and explores a smaller group that allows her to develop more fully as a pianist and improviser, using new song frameworks as a vehicle to showcase the creative voices that have become her primary focus.

Composing for Bohuslän Big Band has been a great challenge and pleasure. Having the individual musicians and the overall band sound in mind, I tried to shape the music in a way that highlights the specific qualities of each band member. Instead of limiting the writing to a specific theme, I just let my ideas flow and went to the piano to write whenever an idea arose.

Brilliant compositions, hard swinging ensemble parts, and stunning soloists is what quickly made Kathrine Windfeld Band the hottest new big band in Denmark. The band consists of 15 young Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Polish super talents, with the awarded composer, arranger, and pianist Kathrine Windfeld in front.
