Must-Have! Lars Danielsson with Nils Petter Molvaer, Jon Christensen & Caecilie Norby - Libera Me (Remastered reissues). With this debut release on ACT by Swedish bassist and composer Lars Danielsson, the label starts a new series. It will please not just the usual jazz lovers used to a high musical quality, but also high-end music fans who want to appreciate music in its most up-to-date technical quality. This new series will continue in Autumn 2004 with reissues of ACT classics such as Europeana and Jazzpana II. For the first release, label boss Siegfried Loch cannot envisage a better production to start with: Danielsson does not just play bass and creates with special guests a broad sound world, but also uses the sound capability of a symphony orchestra to great effect. His highly-developed creativity in many disciplines is clearly set out on this album, yet unostentatiously. In twelve pieces, including the title track, an instrumental version Libera Me (Deliver me), the sixth movement of the Requiem by French composer Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924), the album makes one realize that we have here an instrumentalist of the best quality, a highly competent orchestrator and composer of wonderful memorable melodies - as well as being a leader with a great awareness of the qualities of other musicians. The sinuous soprano saxophone lines of Dave Liebman, the melancholy tones of trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer, the voice of Cæcilie Norby but also the samples of Jan Bang, are all brought together in a particularly sensitive and harmonious manner. Available in FLAC 88.2 kHz
