New album with a new musical approach

With his fourth album Impulse, bass player and composer Niels Wilhelm Knudsen once again looks for a new direction: approaching music with more open spaces and dynamics, new compositions that challenge his earlier work and build upon it, as well as a new band with razor-sharp and engaged musicians with notable attitudes and profiles.

He has desired to impart the band as much as possible when working with the music. The arrangements are largely the result of a joint effort. Everyone has chipped in, which as greatly influenced the current album.

'With three CDs already released and fourth on the way, there is no way to disguise Kundsen's great talent both as a composer and instrumentalist: the sound is great and sustainable, excellently wooden, and his sense for swing is indeed well-founded, regardless of the remaining elements of the music. This listener will admit to a clear fondness for Knudsen's compositions that include an edgy and unique melodic core, which is so often heard in today's younger, acoustic jazz and which also includes a strong physical swing and a dash of humour instead of just complex harmonies.'
(Thorbjørn Sjøgren),
