Jens Søndergaard, who received the Ben Webster award in 2017, is one of the most important saxophonists in Danish Jazz. Perhaps a little overlooked because he has also had a career as a dentist, among other things for a number of the world's best Jazz musicians who have had their teeth fixed at Jens’ in Copenhagen for a lifetime.
The good tune has always been important to Jens Søndergaard and therefore it is also natural that he just received the Ben Webster Award for his long and wonderful career. His duo collaboration with Kenny Werner stands as a milestone and as an example that Jens Søndergaard's sound on the alto saxophone also inspires American stars.
Jens Søndergaard has always had a large and faithful audience. There is a good reason why he has always had a tightly packed calendar. The audience loves the warm radiance of Søndergaard and the beautiful and melodic play on the saxophone.
Now he has recorded The Brubeck-Desmond songbook, which is a return to the music that has gotten so many into the Jazz. Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond are two of the most iconic composers in the history of Jazz. When you hear Jens Søndergaard interpret their repertoire with his regular quartet, it is difficult not to just sit back and enjoy how simple and elegant it can be done. But of course it must be like this when Ole Kock Hansen is involved as an organizer, no one can do better than him on our latitudes. Kock Hansen is a great organizer and an equally great pianist.
If you listen, you can clearly hear that this is an even very mixed rhythm group with a steady Aage Tanggaard on drums and Swedish Lars Lundström on bass. It is performed with an elegance it shines through that none of the players need to prove anything.
Jens Søndergaard Quartet – Plays The Songbook of Brubeck-Desmond is a contemporary proposition of something to the best classical Jazz that exists. Turn on the music and enjoy the mood on a carefree Saturday afternoon or Jazz around at midnight when most have settled down.

Jens Søndergaard, que recibió el premio Ben Webster en 2017, es uno de los saxofonistas más importantes del Jazz danés. Quizás un poco pasado por alto porque también ha tenido una carrera como dentista, entre otras cosas para varios de los mejores músicos de Jazz del mundo que se han arreglado los dientes en casa de Jens en Copenhague durante toda la vida.
La buena melodía siempre ha sido importante para Jens Søndergaard y por eso también es natural que acabe de recibir el premio Ben Webster por su larga y maravillosa carrera. Su colaboración a dúo con Kenny Werner es un hito y un ejemplo de que el sonido de Jens Søndergaard con el saxofón alto también inspira a las estrellas americanas.
Jens Søndergaard siempre ha tenido un público numeroso y fiel. Hay una buena razón por la que siempre ha tenido un calendario apretado. Al público le encanta el cálido resplandor de Søndergaard y la bella y melódica interpretación del saxofón.
Ahora ha grabado The Brubeck-Desmond songbook, que es un regreso a la música que ha metido a tantos en el Jazz. Dave Brubeck y Paul Desmond son dos de los compositores más emblemáticos de la historia del Jazz. Cuando escuchas a Jens Søndergaard interpretar su repertorio con su cuarteto habitual, es difícil no sentarse y disfrutar de lo sencillo y elegante que puede hacerse. Pero, por supuesto, debe ser así cuando Ole Kock Hansen participa como organizador, nadie puede hacerlo mejor que él en nuestras latitudes. Kock Hansen es un gran organizador e igualmente un gran pianista.
Si escuchas, puedes oír claramente que se trata de un grupo rítmico incluso muy mezclado, con un firme Aage Tanggaard a la batería y el sueco Lars Lundström al bajo. Está interpretado con una elegancia que hace que ninguno de los intérpretes tenga que demostrar nada.
Jens Søndergaard Quartet - Plays The Songbook of Brubeck-Desmond es una propuesta contemporánea de algo al mejor Jazz clásico que existe. Ponga la música y disfrute del ambiente en una despreocupada tarde de sábado o del Jazz a medianoche, cuando la mayoría se ha calmado.
