Cool Sweetness could be a nice cold and tasty cocktail... or maybe an irresistible ice cream... But actually, it is the name of Danish trombonist Anders Jacobsen's jazz sextet. "Cool" because the main inspiration comes from the cool jazz as they played it on the American West Coast in the fifties. "Sweetness" because that is how the sextet members really are. Six nice, good-natured and humorous men who love to play good jazz. The music on their new album "Shoehorn Shuffle" is primarily composed and arranged by Jacobsen and the album features a strong line-up of the coolest players on the Danish jazz scene, including Thomas Fryland (trumpet), Jens Sondergaard (sax), Pelle von BÃ¼low (guitar), Ole Skipper (bass) and Aage Tanggaard (drums). 'The music on this fine recording is quite simply - just wonderful! The beauty and spirit of quality is always evident. The writing, execution, soli, and recorded sound are a joy to experience! The sense of swing and great groove puts a big smile on my face. Many thanks to Anders for his terrific writing and assembling all these superb musicians!' (Jiggs Whigham)
