Jacob Fischer Quartet feat. Zier Romme Larsen & Rosa Salamon
Jacob Fischer will surely be a familiar face to most, not least from his many years with Svend Asmussen or the thousands of concerts with Finn Ziegler and Hugo Rasmussen, but he has also been a prolific leader of his own groups—often featuring brand new talents as fellow musicians. Now, he is the one who has become the veteran, and on this occasion, he is in exquisite company with the captivating, wonderful double bassist and singer Rosa Salamon, who is currently establishing herself on the domestic music scene after a number of years abroad. Pianist Zier Rommel Larsen’s playing—energetic yet sensitive, with Oscar Peterson as a clear inspiration—is truly an experience out of the ordinary. He is the recipient of the 2023 Ben Webster Prize, which Fischer received back in 1996. The quartet is completed by drummer Andreas Svendsen, the most brilliant drum talent seen in many years, who has gradually become one of the most sought-after drummers in Denmark. The evening will offer jazz classics and fresh takes on both well-known and lesser-known seasonal tunes.
