About
Since the late 90's, Jakob 'Dino' Dinesen has become a stalwart of the Danish jazz scene, performing with nearly everyone of note in the country as well as internationally celebrated names such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jeff 'Tain' Watts, Jakob Bro and Paul Motian. Finding joy and inspiration in the building of bridges between genres, his career in music has seen him travel and perform all over the world, enriching his sound and soul with every new experience.
His new record seeks to convey his dream of a future world at peace with itself. Rooted in the playful live sound of an atypical quintet featuring cello and djembe, Slow Flow sits in a unique space somewhere between earthy, simplistic, and acoustic and contemporary, electronic, and unexpected. Each of the album's nine original compositions paint musical pictures of contentment that are dear to Dino, as well as offering musical tributes to four of his heroes in Yusef Lateef, Wayne Shorter, Coleman Hawkins and Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis'. Drawing on modern European jazz, African rhythms, Italian circus music, and reggae, Slow Flow plays as a deeply personal exploration of Dino's identity, whilst providing a dream-like message of global peace that promises to resonate with like-minded people all around the world.
