Snorre Kirk feat. Stephen Riley at Jazzhus Montmartre

Bliver man i den straight akustiske del af dansk/skandinavisk jazz, er den norske trommeslager Snorre Kirk en fremtrædende musiker og komponist i regionen. Her er han på scenen med et dugfriskt repertoire, komponeret til samarbejdet med den fine amerikanske tenorsaxofonist og en af de unge løver i amerikansk jazz, Stephen Riley, om hvilken anmelderen Jørgen Siegumfeldt skriver dette i Jazz Special: ”Rileys sound er cool, og hans ofte meget rappe fraseringer assimilerer træk fra et par generationers instrumentalister, herunder også altsaxofonister.”
