Carsten Dahl Experience

the Carsten Dahl Experience is back with a new album, their fourth since their formation in 2007. It all began when renowned Danish jazz pianist Carsten Dahl decided to gather some of his favorite musicians from the Danish jazz stage for a line-up in what he called a "spiritual and musical vision pointing in a lyrical direction and towards abstract music" - a group whose aim was to grow wings with the creation of music. On Caleidoscopia, they manage to levitate once again. The Carsten Dahl Experience consists of Carsten Dahl on piano, Jesper Zeuthen on altosax, Nils Davidsen on bass and Stefan Pasborg on drums. Even though they'll be celebrating their decennial playing together next year, their friendship and understanding of one another doesn't make their music trvial in any way; rather, it forces them to reach higher an dmor ecomplicated grounds in order to bring forward musical surprises. It's improvisational jazz at it's best: The music multiplies and splits up in colorful patterns and rearranges itself into ever-varying themes and motifs; like the myriad of colros and form-shifting patterns you see when looking through a kaleidoscope. Carsten Dahl sums up the Experience group's motive and cohesive force this way: "I simply find this group to be the most challenging and innovative musical constellation I ever recorded and played with in my musical life". with an ambition like that, Caleidoscopia is sure to keep its listeners on the toes.
