Simon Toldam - Fem Små Stykker Med Tid (2024) Hi Res

Concert and prerelease of Fem Små Stykker Med Tid, a solo-piano album performed and composed by Simon Toldam. The music will be released on transparent vinyl in a very limited edition and will be available for purchase at the concert. Humans have long been fascinated by time and space - concepts inspiring millennia of artistic exploration and philosophical reflection. In the space between activities and motions, between sounds and notes, there is time to digest, time to be curious, and time to be present. Studies in this field with the Simon Toldam Trio - which resulted in the album Omhu - “Best Danish Jazz Album of the Year 2019" - led Toldam to explore this compositional and musical mindset even deeper.

Fem Små Stykke Med Tid (Five Small Pieces Of Time) is Toldam's first solo piano release and showcases his musical patience and vibrant timbre. Simon Toldam is one of Scandinavia’s most exciting and distinguished musicians, having released 16 albums as a leader and co-leader. He is a 5-time winner of Danish Music Awards - a.o. “Album of The Year 2019” - and is a member of the Danish jazz and contemporary music recording label, ILK Music. In 2015, he received the prestigious 3-year grant from The Danish Arts Foundation.

In addition to leading the Simon Toldam Trio, Tak For Dit Brev and STORK, Toldam is a member of Dutch drum legend Han Bennink’s trio, appearing on three celebrated albums together. He is also known for collaborations with Axel Dörner, Yasuhiro Yoshigaki, Chris Speed, Marc Ducret, Evan Parker, Peter Brötzmanann, Eivind Aarset, Nils-Petter Molvær, Marilyn Mazur, Tristan Honsinger, Dave Douglas, and Jakob Bro....
