{"product_id":"affinity-1","title":"Affinity","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble Bass player and composer Henrik Jensen with his third album, Affinity, a collection of incendiary tracks performed by his quartet Followed By Thirteen. Their 2016 album Blackwater received a wide range of complimentary accolades from The Guardian, Evening Standard, London Jazz News and various other influential critics. Affinity is a whole new proposition, generating an emphatic, melodic sound and lyrical flow in celebration of the Double Bass. Building on the work done by other great bass band leaders like Dave Holland, Charles Mingus and Drew Gress. Jensen moved to London from Denmark 20 years ago to study at the Royal Academy of Music and fell in love with the jazz scene in the city. The other members of Followed by Thirteen are Esben Tjalve on piano - a friend from Denmark who studied with Jensen at the Royal Academy - Rory Simmons on trumpet and Pete Ibbetson on drums both of whom he met in the UK. Individually they work with a number of the biggest names in jazz, regularly touring and making work with Gene Calderazzo, The Puppini Sisters, Jamie Cullum and Nostalgia 77. Followed By Thirteen is an ensemble of musicians at the top of their game and who deeply respect each others individual merits and sensitively represent each part. They create a disci-plined, measured structure around which Simmons, Tjalve, Ibbetson and Jensen all take turns interpreting the theme of the song. The result is a measured, evening jazz album that has an international feel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babel","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50526699520331,"sku":"1092368","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/eb6f5a2b-adcb-42e6-909e-c298433713ac_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728047105","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/affinity-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
