Morten Haxholm Quartet • Equilibrium

 

’Equilibrium’ is the debut album of Danish bass player Morten Christian Haxholm. Currently residing in Copenhagen, Haxholm graduated with a master’s degree from the Carl Nielsen Academy in 2009 and now studies at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen. Haxholm has played with many great musicians and singers from around the world and with him on his debut album are three great jazz musicians: Americans Jonathan Kreisberg on guitar and Ari Hoenig on drums as well as Frederick Menzies on saxophone. From New York City, Jonathan Kreisberg has played guitar and jazz from an early age, winning a scholarship at the University of Miami and going on to tour with renowned players such as Joe Henderson, Michael Brecker and Red Rodney. A highly accomplished drummer, Ari Hoenig has performed with people such as Jean-Michel Pilc, Kenny Werner and Herbie Hancock. Saxophonist Frederick Menzies is a resident of Copenhagen and was the winner of Young Jazz 2006. The album was recorded in 2012 in the famous ’Systems Two Studio’ in Brooklyn, New York and features compositions by Haxholm as well as the standards ’Night and Day’ by Cole Porter and ’Out of Nowhere’ by Johnny Green. The compositions are strong, well-written and refreshing with excellent playing by the young quartet, augmenting each other’s styles perfectly. The music ranges between easy listening and more daring compositions with rhythms of high complexity but it never fails to hit the spot.

'Equilibrium' es el álbum de debut del bajista danés Morten Christian Haxholm. Actualmente residente en Copenhague, Haxholm se graduó con un máster en la Academia Carl Nielsen en 2009 y ahora estudia en el Conservatorio de Música Rítmica de Copenhague. Haxholm ha tocado con muchos grandes músicos y cantantes de todo el mundo y en su álbum de debut le acompañan tres grandes músicos de jazz: Los estadounidenses Jonathan Kreisberg a la guitarra y Ari Hoenig a la batería, así como Frederick Menzies al saxofón. Desde la ciudad de Nueva York, Jonathan Kreisberg ha tocado la guitarra y el jazz desde una edad temprana, ganando una beca en la Universidad de Miami y yendo de gira con jugadores de renombre como Joe Henderson, Michael Brecker y Red Rodney. Ari Hoenig, un baterista muy consumado, ha tocado con gente como Jean-Michel Pilc, Kenny Werner y Herbie Hancock. El saxofonista Frederick Menzies es residente en Copenhague y fue el ganador del Young Jazz 2006. El álbum se grabó en 2012 en el famoso 'Systems Two Studio' de Brooklyn, Nueva York, y contiene composiciones de Haxholm, así como los estándares 'Night and Day' de Cole Porter y 'Out of Nowhere' de Johnny Green. Las composiciones son sólidas, bien escritas y refrescantes, con una excelente interpretación por parte del joven cuarteto, que se complementa perfectamente con los estilos de los demás. La música oscila entre lo fácil de escuchar y composiciones más atrevidas con ritmos de gran complejidad, pero nunca deja de dar en el clavo.
