Back in the 80s, Palle Mikkelborgs Entrance filled Montmartre in Nørregade to the brim. His perhaps greatest band ever gave fusion jazz a new sound with the combination of flugelhorn and lots of synth. Sometimes sensitive and gentle, at other times explosive and insistent.
Now, meet Andorra, 40 years later: With the excellent former trumpeter in DR's Big Band Mads la Cour in front on horn. They have picked up the gauntlet and continues the sound and spirit of Entrance into a new era.
Jazznyt writes: ""Andorra is cinematic indie-jazz... Musicians who listened to Radiohead in their younger days while playing jazz and have now matured and try to create calmness with delicious timbres between the expressive parts.""
“Mads la Cour plays long floating notes. It is complemented by Simon Krebs' versatile guitar playing, Peter Kohlmetz Møller's Rhodes and Keys, and the rhythm group that can rock.""
The track Mother Tongue builds up to a cosmic explosion."
