Between Then and Now

Storyville Records presents Between Then and Now , a new trio album by acclaimed American pianist Christian Sands , joined by Danish bassist Thomas Fonnesbaek and Swedish drummer Rasmus Kihlberg . An international collaboration that captures contemporary jazz at the intersection of American tradition and Nordic musical sensibility. The album features 9 tracks, balancing original compositions by Sands and Fonnesbaek with inspired reinterpretations of jazz standards and classic repertoire by Bobby Timmons, Richard Rodgers, Luiz Bonfa, and John Coltrane. Recorded in the spirit of Copenhagen's jazz tradition it presents jazz as both a living art form of the present and a dialogue with its past, hence the title Between Then and Now. The collaboration grew from Christian Sands ' relationship with the Copenhagen jazz scene, initiated when former Montmartre musical director Christian Brorsen discovered him online and invited him to Denmark. Like earlier generations of American jazz musicians, including Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon, Sands quickly became a compelling presence in Copenhagen, where attentive listening and subtle interplay guide every performance. Over the years he has been a frequent guest in Denmark and loved by the audience here. Enjoy this contemporary recording with three of the most interesting musicians on the Scandinavian and American jazz scene right now.
