album preview

On Rosenhill is a tribute to the neighbourhood where the composer and jazz trumpeter Jakob Buchanan grew up and which he has revisited many years later. A Danish housing project characterized by identical concrete housing blocks when it was built in the 1960s, today's Rosenhøj (Rosenhill) is a fascinating cultural melting pot that offers previously undreamt of possibilities to its residents. The album is Buchanan's first for Dacapo Records, introducing a wonderful new group of close musical associates in music of flowing lyricism, delicate texture and inspired interplay in settings of poems by the best-selling writer, Iain S. Thomas.
