JazzKLUB / Katrine Windfeld Sextet / Jazz like a masterful lace fabric - NOSPR

Sophisticated structure does not exclude spontaneity and elegance does not necessarily deprive music of its drive. It is no coincidence that Kathrine Windfeld has worked with large ensembles so often, from the Danish Radio Big Band, through the Swedish Bohuslän Big Band and the Finnish Umo Helsinki Jazz Orchestra, to her own orchestra. The artist displays the rare skill of thinking about music in all dimensions imaginable. Even her Danish-Swedish-Polish sextet sounds like a small orchestra, a harmonic finesse in weaving each part accompanied by remarkable textures of their timbres interwoven. The leader’s compositional prowess is complemented by her improvisational temperament. Windfeld’s pianistics is like her compositions – elaborate like the patterns of a lace fabric, stretched between a delicate touch on the keyboard and a powerful stroke. A true feast for those who love masterful jazz writing and the art of arrangement.
