41 years after the release of pianist and composer Jorgen Emborg's debut LP 'Sargasso' one can reflect on his merits as a musician, composer and conductor, painting the picture of a constantly active, curious, ambitious, fearless and, not least, original creator of music.
If you listen to Jorgen Emborg's rich archive of compositions and recordings, you notice his consistently positive approach to music - his music plays upwards, it ascends. He elegantly blends the sounds of Carl Nielsen and Duke Ellington with 20th century popular music that also inspired him, creating compositions that vaulted him to his position at the top of the Danish jazz and songwriting super-league.
The first CD included in Swan Songs contains twelve original Emborg compositions - eight of which have never been recorded before - all arranged by the man himself.
The second disc contains twelve highlights from Emborg's musical past as a leader as well as in the bands he was the informal leader of throughout the years. A sort of greatest hits, recorded alongside some of Denmark's finest musicians and singers.
