Spacelab
continuously celebrates their 25 year anniversary. Dating back to
shared childhood in Vejle, Denmark, it is still unclear when this
group was actually formed - but the musical explorations feels like
they are really just getting started.
Spacelab
released their long anticipated first album 'Spacelab - The Champ' in
2009. The album was produced by the now legend Jens Mikkelsen and
features the music of Nikolaj 'The Champ' Hess in full glory. The
album is a celebration of the 7 year long (and ongoing) residency
that Spacelab has held at Copenhagen Jazzhouse with Nikolaj as the
bandleader. A late night series that over the years has turned into
one of the praised traditions of The Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
Spacelab
was named one lengthy night in Copenhagen 1997 under the influence of
Violin, Piano and Percussion.
The
new album.
On
March 13th
2014 Hess/ AC/ Hess Spacelab is releasing their second album.
The
trio has been working on the album for a long time. Several of the
tunes have been an integral part of the trio's signature repertoire
for years, while others are completely new.
The
record will present an entirely acoustic and more poetic, subtle,
deep felt side of the trio, where the first, acclaimed "Spacelab
- The Champ" with Hammond organ, released in 2009, showed a
wilder and unrestrained live feeling, created on Copenhagen Jazz
Festivals intense night concerts over many years.
The
new album is a beautiful and soulful record with 9 original tunes,
including some of Hess/AC/Hess’s compositions for movies.
You can look forward contemporary and present trio jazz in its finest form, where intimate compositions and catchy grooves create a virtuoso, poetic musical universe.
