Thomas Fonnesbaek & Justin Kauflin: Danish Rain

Warm and evocative duets between bassist Thomas Fonnesbaek and pianist Justin Kauflin were recorded in a couple days back in March of 2022. Kauflin must have taken his Bill Evans  pills t hose mornings, as he has that classic romantic and introspective touch throughout, as on the thoughtful “Everything I Love” and the dainty dew droplets of “You Must Believe In Spring” Fonnesbaek produces a rich melody for his own “Danish Rain”and is bluesy around the striding ivories o Herbie Hancock’s “Driftin”, giving a warm aria on “Falling Grace”. The two have fun bopping through “Country Fried and swing with delight on “Cake Walk”. Simple and delicious ingredients, with no sugars or fillers.
