Scott Hamilton - Danish Ballads... & More (2019)

Here is a bit of a treat for lovers of the good tunes, tastefully played by excellent musicians. The repertoire is, among other things, selected from the Danish song cat from the 20th century. Songs that we all know and love; In love with Copenhagen, Alley Cat, It was a Saturday evening and in the deep quiet calm of the forest and standards that were played by then-resident American musicians, such as Stan Getz and Oscar Pettiford. The star team is quoted by the American tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, who, if anyone manages to convey beautiful melodies, the Swedish pianist Jan Lundgren, whose sublime games and approach to the music is very close to the compatriot Jan Johansson, the likewise Swedish superguitarist Ulf Wakenius - known from among others .a. NHØP's trio and Oscar Peterson's group, as well as the strong rhythm team, bassist Hans Backenroth and drummer Kristian Leth. A walk down memory lane, but also a bid for contemporary interpretations of great music. The concerts also mark the release of Hamilton's dew-fresh album "Danish Ballads & more".
