ECM Records JAKOB BRO, PALLE MIKKELBORG, THOMAS MORGAN, JON CHRISTENSEN: RETURNINGS CD

“Danish guitarist Jakob Bro creates magical music, impossible to categorize”, wrote Downbeat recently.  On Returnings the magic is intensified as Bro and musical soul-mate Thomas Morgan reconnect with two living legends of European jazz, trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg and drummer Jon Christensen.

It’s a wonderful combination:  Bro’s watercolour guitar sounds,  Mikelborg’s soft Milesian flugelhorn,  Morgan’s impeccable choice of notes,  and Christensen’s  free-floating drumming . These components  add up to one of the prettiest and subtlest jazz albums of recent times.  Returnings was recorded  in July 2016 at Oslo’s Rainbow Studio and produced by Manfred Eicher.
