Peter Rosendal, The Orchestra, Trio Mio - Trickster (2020) [CD-Rip]

Peter Rosendal relishes in his own musical unpredictability. He is difficult to pigeonhole, and doesn’t object if and when he is called unorthodox as a musician, composer, and arranger. Or, in his own words: “I like to pull the rug out from under the listener.” So… what can we expect from the music on TRICKSTER?
On this album, Rosendal fabulates and juggles with 22 instrumentalists in an ensemble created for the occasion by pairing big band The Orchestra with folk group Trio Mio.
Peter Rosendal is often labelled as a jazz pianist (which he is), but he’s also much more than that. He was a member of the folk group ULC, whose records have twice been voted Album of the Year at the Danish Music Awards. He plays piano in Trio Mio, which is renowned for its ability to both maintain and reinvent folk music. One of his own trio’s records was named Jazz Release of the Year at the Danish Music Awards.
Rosendal has been showered with much-deserved praise over the years, and the multifaceted talent has accumulated numerous awards and honours, including having received a three-year working grant from the National Arts Foundation. He’s released a healthy handful of CDs in his own name, including the acclaimed Stunt releases PICA-PAU, OLD MAN’S KITCHEN, and LOVE FOR SNAIL.
The Orchestra has now been at the forefront of the Danish music scene for several decades. When the band's 17 members are gathered together, their starting goal is to develop, cultivate, and perform new, original, and preferably experimental music. The Orchestra was fascinated by Rosendal's work with his sextet – Old Man’s Kitchen – and its unique navigation of melodic-jazz-through-folk-music-to-the-avant-garde, and… yadda yadda yadda…
Rosendal was suddenly writing new music for The Orchestra. The fruits of their symbiotic labours can be heard here on TRICKSTER, where the magically imaginative and fabulously talented Peter Rosendal plays games with genres and tricks with what you think you know is going to come next.
