About

On Rosenhill is a tribute to the neighbourhood where the composer and jazz trumpeter Jakob Buchanan grew up and which he has revisited many years later. A Danish housing project characterized by high-rise concrete apartments when it was built in the 1960s, today’s Rosenhøj (Rosenhill ) is a fascinating cultural melting pot that offers previously undreamt-of possibilities to its residents. The album is Buchanan’s first for Dacapo Records, introducing a wonderful new group of close musical associates in music of flowing lyricism, delicate texture and inspired interplay in settings of poems by the best-selling writer, Iain S. Thomas.

The music of Jakob Buchanan (b. 1968) has an open, Scandinavian sound; something utterly Nordic mixed with a blue melancholy.

On Rosenhill is a personal work whose core is a musical meditation on Buchanan’s childhood neighbourhood (Rosenhøj), the highly-profiled soloists adding unexpected gifts to the work as a whole.

Jakob Buchanan’s approach to composition is intuitive rather than conceptual. The writing is linked to his experiences as a trumpeter.

New York-born singer Indra Rios-Moore interprets the lyrics by South-African poet Iain S. Thomas with a voice that combines the sublimely beautiful with the unaffected and natural.

The album is mixed in the legendary Rainbow Studio in Oslo, by sound engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug – his very last album, before passing away.

This is the world-premiere recording of On Rosenhill.
