about

What happens when the music of a Danish composer travels into the hands of a master Argentine arranger and pianist? What happens when music from northern Europe meets and melts into the tango-tradition and rich culture of Buenos Aires? One answer to these kind of questions could be the meeting of Diego Schissi and his extremely skilled musicians and danish composer and bassplayer Torben Westergaard.

. . .

The sense of tension, unique to tango blends beautifully with the serenity of nordic jazz. Passionate and yet melodic and melancholic. (#14 on the list of best foreign albums of 2013) Tagaki, Jazz Critique Magazine, Japan Apr 25th 2014.

This CD features the collaboration of Danish jazz bassist Westergaard and Argentine tango pianist Schissi. Although the playing has a cool texture, it is tinged with excitement. The finely honed sounds of the cello and bandoneon take turns delighting the ears. DAYLY YOMIURI, Japan Feb 28th 2013.

– Is it possible that a Danish musician is able to tackle the music light years away from its roots in a manner so lucid and essential? Yes, when it comes to Torben Westergaard, bassist with an excellent technique. – The distance between Denmark and Argentina vanish as if by magic, and joy and melancholy embrace and provide exactly the location, that enhances the qualities of Westergaard, perfectly at ease with his traveling companions. – A brilliant album that will further the goal of increasing the admirers of Westergaard. AllAboutJazz.com Feb 8th 2013.

(…) captured the essence of the Argentine tango. (…) In the imaginary concert-hall chair of your living-room all you have to do is to sit back and follow the journey that awaits your presence. Lira (Sweden) Sep 28th 2012.

★★★★★ Headline: Never waste a waltz – the medium-sized orchestras advances with original ideas and headstrong sound. Among the year’s most successful are Torben Westergaard’s vibrant tango project. (…) Never waste a waltz, with its immediate beauty, recalls how precious 4 minutes can be. (…) the whole record keeps high level and is a pleasure to listen to. Politken Sep 17th 2012.
