Description
This young up-and-coming pianist captivated many as a surprise of the year at Ærø Jazz Festival 2024 with his ability to quickly sense the inner essence of music, process it in a split second, and then give his very own version of the musical presentation.
“Rasmus Sørensen sends greetings to past as well as contemporary style traits, with an obvious kinship to Brad Mehldau’s ‘Art of the Trio’ from the late 1990s. There is something about New York as the ever-pulsating scene, which has now led Rasmus Sørensen from its DNA to his first DMA.”
“It is evolution and not revolution that you should expect from the 26-year-old jazz comet from Sæby. There is jazz music that sets my hair on fire. And then there is jazz music, which is just so organic, delicate and naturally complex in its curious exploration of jazz’s melodiousness that you just have to enjoy ‘Perennial Youth’ and its reflection in the elongated vignette ‘Earthlings’ again and again.” For this year’s Ærø Jazz Festival, Rasmus has assembled a quintet – Synergi – which consists of:
Rasmus Sørensen – Piano
Jakob Sørensen – Trumpet
Christian Holm-Svendsen – Saxophone
Lasse Mørck – Double Bass
Nikolaj Bangsgaard – Drums
