Jeppe Zacho Quintet at Søhesten

“This is modern jazz in the old-fashioned way, taking us straight back to the vibrant nest where jazz was, and still is, the hottest thing in town. This is a dream come true. The Danish saxophonist Jeppe Zacho has assembled a strong quintet for his debut as a bandleader.

“This is modern jazz in the old-fashioned way, taking us straight back to the vibrant nest where jazz was, and still is, the hottest thing in town. This is a dream come true. The Danish saxophonist Jeppe Zacho has assembled a strong quintet for his debut as a bandleader.
The album is entitled ‘Introducing Jeppe Zacho’ because, while he has been a hard-working saxophonist on the Copenhagen jazz circuit for years, he has never fronted his own project.
He has played with Jazz Five, Jack Street, and The Counterfictionals over the years. When he steps forward and takes the lead, he delves into bop and beyond.
Described in the liner notes as “modern jazz the old fashioned way”, the record has a tone that is forward-thinking and fresh while retaining the raw energy and live excitement of all the timeless jazz records that jazz fans grew up with.
Through his writing, Zacho showcases the different facets that make up his musical and personal identity: a piece dedicated to a formative teacher, an ode to his beloved, a composition that reflects his love for Cuba and its rich musical culture, and a tribute to a classic Soul/Funk song from 1970 makes up the quintet’s varied repertoire.
