(CD)

After winning at the Danish Music Awards with their debut “First year” in 2018, their sophomore album “Farewell Old Ways”, Aloft Quartet abandons what is familiar and jumps into the void of the unknown; a new venture features original compositions that forge a strong and cohesive repertoire. 

Combining the well-composed, intricate structure of modern American jazz, and the velvety smooth, clean Nordic sound we have come to expect from this band, Farewell Old Ways features daring solos, detailed intonation and traditionally inspired improvisation that is deftly produced by these highly talented instrumentalists. Listeners can expect to be thrilled and pacified by vast sound landscapes, strong textures and grounded rhythms.
