Bjerge, Strand

Description

'Three winters ago, danish composer-guitarist Jakob Bro invited spiritual jazz master Charles Lloyd to make a recording with him in The Village in Copenhagen along with Larry Grenadier and Jorge Rossy, the deeply attuned rhythm section that for two decades refined the piano trio with Brad Mehldau. 'This previously unreleased session took place around the time Jakob Bro was touring Europe with Charles Lloyd and Larry Grenadier in support of Lloyd’s acclaimed album The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow. Now, the session is finally being prepared for release. 'The album Bjerge, Strand was recorded and produced over two days at The Village Recording in Copenhagen and features ten tracks – half the songs composed by Jakob Bro, half by Charles Lloyd, with the two artists joining forces to co-write the epic hymn Peace Song, plus Yahllah written by Paul Motian. 'In recent years, it has been exceedingly rare for Charles Lloyd to appear as a featured artist on another artist’s album, and his presence here should be seen in the context of his ongoing collaboration with Jakob Bro and Larry Grenadier.'
