The Lark - released February 2016

Buy CD at WhyPlayJazz // Buy on iTunes // Follow on Facebook

Second album from Søren Gemmer. With a series of portraits fleshed out in melodic lines THE LARK unites personal experience and collective modern jazz exploration.

Released by WhyPlayJazz, the higly ambitious label for modern jazz and improvised music.

"Gemmer’s personality as a writer is stamped all over this set of arresting pieces that demand attention without ever shouting. The playing is effortless, always in service of the mood. An excellent set. "

Mike Collins, London Jazz News (UK)

"It’s the kind of jazz that’s ripe with detail. Gemmer puts forth a range of ideas and succeeds in tying them together. [...] Søren Gemmer's 'The Lark' is a very strong and recommendable album."

Niels Overgård, Jazznyt (DK)

"...the overlapping ideas and motifs accumulate to a profound work of a mature and opinionated composer with a unique voice. Gemmer's affinity with La Cour is quite impressive and both sounding as expanding each other idea, playing in almost telepathic interplay."

Eyal Hareuveni - freejazzblog.org(ISR)

"The miniature portrait, Gemmer has created in Francis Poulenc's spirit, is almost frighteningly precise and shows a very virtuosic and sensitive Danish composer."

Peter H. Larsen - Jazz Special (DK)

"Gemmer has assembled a band that is both technically excellent and where the musicians also appear to enjoy playing together. This, alongside the high quality of the recording, contributes to the sense of space and dynamics in the music and makes for a highly enjoyable piece of modern jazz. Highly recommended."

Phil Barnes - AllAboutJazz (US)

"This is only the Danes second album, and I find myself imagining how far he might take it, considering the rapid development he is displaying here."

Marek Romanski - HiFi i Muzyka (POL)
