Reharmonisation

A year ago in the fall of 2014, I went to the studio with some of my my favorite musicians Francesco Calì, Nico Gori, Jeppe Holst and Andreas Hatholt to record my second album. The project started many years ago when Francesco, Jeppe and I toured Danish churches doing concerts with new arrangements of old Danish traditionals and hymns. These arrangements evolved over time, and when Nico Gori added his beautiful clarinet to the mix - we decided to record an album solely devoted to this these old songs. I grew up singing all the songs that you find on my new album "A Winter Tale". But with the new arrangements by Francesco Calì the music comes to life in a different way. The melodies are the same, but everything else completely different. The idea was to bring the songs into a new setting with modern jazz reharmonisation without ruining, yet rather underlining, the feeling of the original tune.

Jazz musicians keep dying. Perhaps this is not surprising, as jazz is nearing its centenary. Last year's list of losses included British tenor-saxist Danny Moss, who made a name for himself playing in bands led by such people as Vic Lewis, Ted Heath and John Dankworth, before moving to Australia in 1989. He returned from the Antipodes nearly every year to tour in Britain, and this album was recorded on one of those visits in 2007. Danny died eight months later, and this CD is a good reminder of his considerable abilities.

'The House' is Trudy Kerr's 13th album on her Jazzizit Label. The album is a collaboration between Trudy and pianist Andrea Vicari. The album is a change of direction for Trudy. "Stylistically the tunes are more contemporary sounding and were therefore challenging to sing as well as write suitable lyrics to." Joining them on the album are bassist Geoff Gascoyne and Martin Hathaway playing sax, flute and clarinet. "How can I miss you if you Never Go Away" is a lovely ballad with words and music by Andrea about love and life.
