Title: Jacob Fischer Trio – My Romance (2013) [Japan 2016]
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + DSF DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

My Romance is Jacob Fischer’s fifth album as a leader, and his debut from the Japanese label Venus Records, is an ambitious project: A tribute to Bill Evans with a simple trio with Martin Wind on bass and Tim Horner on drums. Their efforts are a success on many levels. On some tracks, they succeed because they use completely different approaches from those used by Evans in his well-known recorded performances.

My Romance is Jacob Fischer’s fifth album as a leader, and his debut from the Japanese label Venus Records, is an ambitious project: A tribute to Bill Evans with a simple trio with Martin Wind on bass and Tim Horner on drums. Their efforts are a success on many levels. On some tracks, they succeed because they use completely different approaches from those used by Evans in his well-known recorded performances. Examples of these include the unsentimental, hard-boiled approach of the opening track and the imaginative collective improvisations on “Nardis”. On a few other tracks includign “My Foolish Heart,” they succeed to recreate the mood and atmosphere of the legendary Bill Evans trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian despite the difference in the leading instrument.

Title: Jacob Fischer Trio – Black Orpheus (2013) [Japan 2016]
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + DSF DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

Danish native Jacob Fischer is a rising star and one of the most in-demand jazz guitarists in Europe. Born in 1967, the self-taught guitarist began working as a professional when he was 17 years old, and since then has participated in more than 200 recordings. Fischer impressed with his debut from the Japanese label Venus Records, a Bill Evans tribute album with a simple trio with bass and drums. Now, he has shown a completely different side with his second release Black Orpheus, playing Brazilian music with acoustic guitar. His authentic feel comes from his experience of traveling and performing throughout Brazil, and support of the great Brazilian drummer Duduka DaFonseca.
