"Jazz in Svenska"

The new Aarhus-based vocal band ENSEMBLE EDGE has planned a tribute to the work of the Swedish jazz pianist Jan Johanson, who passed away 50 years ago, in collaboration with jazz musicians from Denmark, Sweden, and Estonia.

ENSEMBLE EDGE is a vocal band consisting om some of Aarhus' best singers led by cellist Martha Marie Petri and conductor Asbjørn Faleide Fristad, who both study at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus / Aalborg. Since 2016, the band has worked with the exploration and performance of new music written for choir and cello.

In collaboration with the Swedish Pianist Calle Brickman, the Estonian singer Karmen Rõivassepp, as well as the two Danish musicians bass player Matthias Flemming Petri and drummer Andreas Fryland, ENSEMBLE EDGE introduced a new form of concert where classical music meets jazz based on the Swedish folk sound, which was part of Jan Johansson's musical signature.

The concert is set to a Jan Johanssonian universe with several musical approaches: classical choir arrangements by Hugo Alfvén and Anders Öhrwall, newly composed arrangements for choir and jazz trio, as well as new transcriptions of Jan Johansson's own compositions.

New Directions is a collaboration between Aarhus Jazz Festival, AUT - Aarhus Unge Tonekunstnere, and Århus Sinfonietta. New Directions is supported by Augustinus Fonden, Toyota-Fonden, Knud Højgaards Fond og Koda Kultur.
