about

The charismatic tenor saxophonist and composer Jan Harbeck
has previously released four albums in his own name on Stunt
Records. He’s won a Danish Music Award, as well as having
received both the Bent Jædig and Ben Webster Prizes. Harbeck
and his steady band of many years have long been an important
presence on most of Denmark’s jazz stages, also enjoying great
success around Europe. Over the last decade, the band’s releases
have been among the absolute best-selling Danish instrumental
jazz records. In addition to his own quartet, Jan Harbeck plays
with orchestras including the Tivoli Big Band, Niels Jørgen
Steen’s Monday Night Big Band, The Orchestra, and in drummer Snorre Kirk’s band.

Harbeck’s expressive, outgoing playing continues in the great Swing tradition. Completely original and extremely stylish, he’s
a musician who digs deep and understands the importance of
presence. Few others are able to blow so much soul into a jazz
ballad. As Thomas Michelsen wrote in Politiken, “we once had
Ben Webster to awaken the soul. Today we have Jan Harbeck!”
It’s actually strange that the 43-year-old tenor saxophonist didn’t
release a tribute to “Big Ben” before now – the legend lived in
Copenhagen for a number of years, is buried there, and continues
to inspire – but here it comes.
