Showcase
"Despite the duo formation, Danielsson and Fresu often manage to evoke a sweeping sound; full and resounding even in its most fleeting narrations. There is an overall laidback nature that saturates 'Summerwind' but through the tranquility a subtle heat keeps things energized. The spartan album is a showcase for the first-class talents of Danielsson and Fresu." All About Jazz
Need to know
"10 New Jazz Albums You Need to Know About: 'Summerwind' is the first joint studio project bringing together two master musicians renowned for the way in which they create atmosphere, color, feeling and real depth: bassist-cellist Lars Danielsson and trumpeter-flugelhornist Paolo Fresu. The duo context offers extensive space for both artists to let their musical ideas develop, while also sharing the common belief that fewer notes are far more effective than many and that this is how the poetry develops, as they create a mood on Summerwind that is almost meditative. 'It's about doing the right thing at the right time,' says Danielsson via an official press release. 'That's the challenge of playing in a duo. You can't hide behind other instruments in this configuration.'" Jazziz
