On his new double vinyl album, Jakob Buchanan masterfully blends the ultra-local folk music and the unique character of thelandscape, with some of the world's leading names in modern jazz, and one of Denmark's many great string quartets ArtosQuartetA few years ago, jazz composer and trumpeter Jakob Buchanan moved to Mols. Here, he sits and plays in an old circuswagon on Thorup Mark, gazing over the rolling hills and becoming absorbed in an old booklet of folk tunes by the locallegend, fiddler Peter Madsen (1865-1900). One autumn day, he tries out the old dance tunes on his trumpet while lookingout across the landscape. The tunes turn into hymns, and it feels as if an old soul is reborn floating across the warm, hillyland, a landscape that writes it's own silent music on the horizon every day.
