Info for What's to Come!

The three renowned Danish jazz artists, bassist Lennart Ginman, drummer Thomas Blachman and pianist Carsten Dahl, are collectively known under the moniker GinmanBlachmanDahl. Bearing the title, "What's to Come!", this record is a testament to the power of spontaneity, unpredictability, and collaboration in the realm of jazz. The combination of these three masterful musicians has resulted in an album that simply oozes swing, timing, dexterity, and imagination. They are simply put - some of the most visionary and innovative Danish jazz musicians and composers, and their music reflects their never-ending quest to push the boundaries of what's possible. Unlike a conventional studio recording, this album was born out of raw spontaneity and creative synergy within the trio - every note, every chord, every rhythm was created in the spur of the moment. The result is a sonic journey into the heart and essence of improvisation.

With a nod to the luminaries who have shaped the genre - Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Bill Evans - the trio infuses their compositions with a sense of homage and reverence, yet never shy away from boldly charting their own course. From the introspective melodies that stir the soul to the explosive bursts of energy that ignite the senses, this recording captures the full spectrum of human experience in all its complexity and nuance. As the final notes fade into the ether, one cannot help but feel the palpable sense of anticipation lingering in the air - a promise of 'What's to Come!', and an invitation to join them on their ongoing odyssey of sound and expression.

Lennart Ginman, Thomas Blachman, Carsten Dahl
is a unique trio on the Scandinavian jazz scene in 2022. Behind the name are three of the country's biggest musical personalities.

Thomas Blachman is not only an X-factor judge, but also a producer and Grammy winner alongside his drumming career.

Carsten Dahl is a former professor at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory and a Grammy-winning pianist and soloist.

Lennart Ginman had a breakthrough far beyond the jazz world with Ginman / Jørgensen in the 90s, was curator of Summer Sessions at Vallekilde Højskole for more than ten years and is the former music director of Copenhagen Jazzhouse.

The three manage better than any other Danish jazz trio to combine sound, hard swing and spirituality with fun and tradition with personal innovation. The trio was the first Danish jazz act ever to be released on the legendary Verve Records label.

The trio's profound trust in the magic of improvisation between the three instrumentalists is one of the pillars of GinmanBlachmanDahl's open musical universe. The blurring of the line between composition and improvisation makes their concerts a state of almost musical telepathy.

While many jazz artists focus their expression within a limited number of jazz branches and sub-genres, GinmanBlachmanDahl fearlessly and courageously chooses a starting point that includes the entire history of music, from complex compositional music to standard jazz repertoire to understated timeless minimalism. From tightly pulsating swing beats to abstractly dissolved free structures.

Contemporary music that may be rooted in the beautiful melancholy of classic jazz, but at the same time points towards a universal meeting between three virtuoso instrumentalists. An attempt to stop time in a moment of self-forgetfulness in the service of music. Three instruments speak to each other in a language stripped of small talk and automatisms.

Each of them are top profiles in the Danish music industry. All three have extensive productions behind them and an extreme artistic diversity and freedom in their approach to the moment of creation. GinmanBlachmanDahl also occasionally participate in selected musical encounters with other artists. These include Palle Mikkelborg, Nils Petter Molvær, Claus Hempler and Stephen Riley.

This album contains no booklet.
