Hvalfugl Feat. Jakob Sørensen at Jazzhus Montmartre

The Aarhus trio Hvalfugl belongs to an exciting young generation of Danish musicians who build a bridge between Nordic folk music and the sound of jazz. The trio's third album "Øjeblikke Vi Husker" from 2020, ended up on Jazznyt's top-10 list of best Danish jazz releases, and the group has really stormed forward in the Danish jazz landscape - and with good reason. On this evening the trio will feature the award-winning trumpetist Jakob Sørensen, who, like Hvalfugl, seeks the deep, Nordic sound.

There is a bubbling freshness in Hvalfugl's bid on how jazzed folk music should sound in our time. It is music that with its Nordic sound is able to strike down into the Danish soul, and at the same time follow the virtues of trio jazz in a very elegant way. With their playful interplay and dreamy sound, you are led towards hilly landscapes and bright Nordic summer nights. The tones of Hvalfugl are able to break down boundaries and at the same time open up new paths, where jazz and nature merge into one....

Den Aarhusianske trio Hvalfugl tilhører en spændende ung generation af danske musikere, som bygger bro mellem den nordiske folkemusik og jazzens klang. Trioens tredje album ”Øjeblikke Vi Husker” fra 2020 havnede på Jazznyt’s top-10 liste over bedste danske jazzudgivelser, og gruppen er for alvor stormet frem i det danske jazzlandskab – og med god grund. Med sig har trioen denne aften den prisvindende trompetist Jakob Sørensen, der ligesom Hvalfugl søger mod den dybe, nordiske lyd.

Der er en perlende friskhed i Hvalfugls bud på, hvordan jazzet folkemusik skal lyde i vores tid. Det er musik, der med sin nordiske klang evner at ramme ned i den danske folkesjæl, og samtidig følge triojazzens dyder på særdeles elegant vis. Med deres legende samspil og drømmende lyd føres man mod bakkede landskaber og lyse nordiske sommernætter. Hvalfugls toner evner at nedbryde grænser og samtidig åbne op for nye veje, hvor jazzen og naturen smelter sammen i ét.
