After a long absence, jazz patriarch Palle Mikkelborg, one of the undisputed founders of the Nordic Sound, returns with a full-length composition featuring the artistry of Helen Davies, Michala Petri and the strings of the South Jutland Symphony Orchestra conducted by Henrik Vagn Christensen. Going to Pieces reflects his life-long journey, through the sonic realms of progressive jazz, contemporary classical and world music idioms. The recording concludes with a special Bonus Track; 'Afterthoughts' - a live improvisation on themes from Going to Pieces featuring Mikkelborg's trumpet and live electronics by master producer Thomas LI.
