Jakob Dinesen & Jeff "Tain" Watts - Unconditional Love (feat. Jacob Artved & Felix Moseholm) (2022) [Digital Download 24/48]

You can't claim to know anything about Danish jazz unless you know the great and beloved tenor saxophonist Jakob Dinesen - also known as Dino.

In early December 2021, Dino travelled to the United States to record with one of his heroes - legendary American drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts - who at 62 is considered by many to be the most prominent and influential drummer of his generation. He was the heartbeat and rhythmic foundation behind George Benson, the Marsalis brothers, Betty Carter, McCoy Tyner and Michael Brecker and many, many others. Dino describes Tain's music as a source of love and inspiration in his professional musical life.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE was recorded in Tain's home - which is no ordinary "home studio". Watts and his family live in a former church (built in 1875) in Easton, Pennsylvania. It's a place that Jacob says exudes the master drummer's own energy, depth, humility, warmth and spirituality.

In addition to Dino and Tain, the album also features two young virtuosos from Denmark - guitarist Jacob Artved and bassist Felix Moseholm. Both are still in their twenties, but have already made waves with their incredible talent, drive and taste. None have ever sounded better than in this inspiring environment under the experience, influence and musicality of Dino and Tain.

Apart from pianist Gary Allen's title track, Unconditional Love, the album features mostly original works written by Dinesen - created for the deep, poetic universe the quartet brings to life and explores together. All the songs sparkle with emotional honesty, taking the listener on a journey that offers plenty of room for each of the four talented musical personalities to shine brighter than ever before.
