about

Kenneth Dahl Knudsen’s new album “Uummat” is a massive artistic statement, both in terms of the complex compositions and the stellar musical performances by an all-star team of musicians from his hometown Aalborg.

Working on Western Greenland island Uummannaq, Knudsen was exposed to the vast, calm and awe-inspiring natural surroundings, which were the first catalyst for a new set of compositions. Soon, a second incidence added a new dimension to the music. During a dinner with the leader of the local orphanage, Knudsen was invited to read from author Lise Andersen’s book "Uummat - Stories from the heart", a book documenting the personal experiences of neglect of children from the orphanage. Third, Kenneth encountered the rich Greenlandic folklore in the recently published Bestiarium Groenlandica - an illustrated handbook of mythical beings, spirits and animals.

5/5 - "The music is nothing short of astonishing; at times comforting, safe and homely, at times challenging and testing. Ultimately it is intensely rewarding. In my humble opinion, it defines what truly great music is all about, and indeed, what it is to be human, with passion, depth, honesty and integrity."

****** - "Kenneth Dahl Knudsens' music is impossible to place in a genre - it belongs in a category of its own. If you accept that premise, the music opens up a completely new world."
- www.nordjyske.dk

"This music has grand emotions in play, and Kenneth Dahl Knudsen is not holding back. Pompous and hefty discharges as in the track “Monsters”. Changes between delicate elements and powerful forces as in the beautiful tribute “Uummannaq”. This is modern jazz that reflects the times, nature and the social aspects. With this ambitious project, Kenneth Dahl Knudsen has created his best album so far, which will stand strong in the 36 years old musicians’ already comprehensive career. The album is highly recommended from here."
