Moving from an exotic reverie to an earthy and unprecedented blues, the drummer's approach is solid and assured. This is music with soul and swing. The quintessence of cool. continued on reverse Acting as bandleader and composer, Snorre felt it essential to become familiar with the musical DNA of his soloists, in order to adapt his writing to each of them and, thus, to bring a unique sound carried by sparkling compositions and the desire to explore and master a maximum of elements and directions inherent in the history of jazz. Eight of the nine tracks that make up the repertoire of Beat are compositions by Snorre Kirk. The only one that is not is an adaptation of the theme 'Zanzibar', written by double bassist Juan Tizol, a member of Duke Ellington's orchestra at the time. Without really knowing why, this theme fell into anonymity and has, in fact, been rarely heard and even less performed. Sparkling with a thousand colors, 'Zanzibar' is a marvel of composition and Snorre has taken it upon himself to keep it alive, also serving as an inspiration. A choice far from being accidental, since, like the drummer's music, it is a piece that breathes joy. Rare are the young musicians who have bridged the different jazz styles as spectacularly as Snorre Kirk. The repertoire as well as the line-up of this 4th album clearly demonstrate that the listener is dealing with a \"working band\" (or even \"hard-working band\"!) with talented soloists in distinct roles.","brand":"Snorre Kirk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55315695239512,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0663993181417.jpg?v=1760391759","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/snorre-kirk_beat-snorre-kirk-vinyle-lp_2018_uvm","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
