Play Ballads

The acclaimed Danish jazz trio Ginman Blachman Dahl, consisting of pianist Carsten Dahl, bassist Lennart Ginman, and drummer Thomas Blachman, return with the album 'Play Ballads', a collection of 15 jazz standards rendered in their signature, contemplative style. The trio's deep musical rapport is immediately apparent. Each note and silence is measured with care, revealing a rare comfort and understanding cultivated over decades of collaboration. 'Play Ballads' is distinguished by its contemplative approach to well-known standards such as Matt Dennis' "Angel Eyes", Vernon Duke's "Autumn in New York", Billy Strayhorn's "Take the 'A' Train", Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk", and Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll".
