Mads Tolling Quartet Feat Jacob Fischer - Celebrating Svend Asmussen

Review by pedro monardes

Celebrating Svend Asmussen is an exceptional album by the Mads Tolling Quartet, featuring the renowned jazz guitarist Jacob Fischer. The album is a tribute to Svend Asmussen, the legendary Danish jazz violinist, who was known for his unique style and contribution to the jazz genre.

The album starts with the upbeat and lively track "June Night," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Tolling's violin skills are on full display, and Fischer's guitar complements the track perfectly. The album also includes some of Asmussen's classics, such as "Scandinavian Shuffle" and "Lullaby of Birdland."

One of the highlights of the album is the track "Misty," which features Fischer's guitar solo and Tolling's melodic violin. The duo's chemistry is evident throughout the entire album, and they play off each other effortlessly.
