TORBEN WESTERGAARD "OKTOBER"

About Me

CD's: TORBEN WESTERGAARD:PENELOPE (Calibrated, 2007) "Fearless he is: in his curious search after new forms and expressions. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" JAZZNYT, Norway, 2008 “Brilliantly illustrates the abilities of TW. He can generate a musical atmosphere and maintain it with his own laid back flow which just keeps going and going without ever becoming static or dull.”, “ This is the work of a composer” JAZZSPECIAL, Denmark, 2007 “On this album as well, his melodious abilities are vigorously unfurled.” “Westergaard as a distinguished soloist”, POLITIKEN, Denmark, 2007 “An auditory palette with natural sparkling lights”, “...everything is tied together in a neat, beautiful wholeness”. LIRA, Sweden, 2007 “A wonderful blend”, JYSKE VESTKYSTEN, Denmark, 2007 “Torben Westergaard meets Suzanne Brøgger and Eva Dahlgren and sweet music arises.” GAFFA, Denmark, 2007TORBEN WESTERGAARD: OKTOBER (Calibrated, 2006) “What one immediately hears is a mood almost like chamber music with exquisite arrangements.“ “It is remarkable that people who are not very ‘jazz minded’ quickly become charmed by this album.”, “interesting, and worth listening to.” SOUNDSLIKE, Belgium, 2006 "In this recording all the songs have elegant melodies, making you want to say they are pure romance transformed into sound". CATFISH, Japan, 2006 Separately the individual voices come beautifully into their own, while at the same time creating a symphonic medley together, which in its own way makes the music float away under its own power. POLITIKEN, Denmark, 2006 Go ahead and mark this CD as one of the most exiting Danish jazz-releases in 2006. INFORMATION, Denmark, 2006 First things first. This is music unequalled. The melodies keep opening themselves up, almost like Chinese boxes. JAZZSPECIAL, Denmark, 2006 “Groovy grooves and unecpected beats. This reviewer finds it “extremely facinating” ” JAZZ-NETWORK.COM, Germany, 2006 "Although the artist is a bassist, there are no flashy bass solos. Still, the sound is very comfortable, giving peace to the heart.", EBASSCRAZY, Japan, 2006
