Product description

Jakob Bro's "Gefion," released on ECM Records in February 2015, marks the Danish guitarist's debut as a leader on the prestigious label, following his collaborations with the likes of Paul Motian and Tomasz Stanko. This captivating jazz album, recorded in November 2013 at Rainbow Studio in Oslo, is a testament to Bro's nuanced melodicism and his ability to craft immersive soundscapes.

The album opens with the title track, "Gefion," a 10-minute exploration that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Bro's guitar work is subtle yet evocative, complemented by the delicate interplay of Thomas Morgan on double bass and Jon Christensen on drums. Tracks like "Copenhagen" and "Airport Poem" showcase Bro's knack for blending ambient textures with jazz improvisation, creating a sound that is both intimate and expansive.

"Gefion" is a journey through Bro's unique musical landscape, where each track offers a different perspective on his artistry. From the haunting beauty of "White" to the rhythmic complexity of "And They All Came Marching Out Of The Woods," the album is a testament to Bro's versatility and depth as a composer and performer. With a runtime of just under 40 minutes, "Gefion" is a concise yet profound exploration of modern jazz, making it a standout release in Bro's discography.

This LP was released in 2015.
