They immediately decided to focus on one genre in particular: swing jazz inspired by the old masters, mixed with original compositions as well as songs by Django Reinhardt. Their first album, Jazz Airs, was released in 2003 to great acclaim both in Iceland and Danmark, as well as receiving terrific reviews and extensive radio play in North-American territories. They followed it up with \u201cSweet and Lovely<\/a>\u201d, also to great acclaim. In 2008 they released a compilation album, \u201cRadio Jazz\u201d, through Global e. Rack S.A. de C.V. in Mexico. This album has unfortunately been unavailble in Europe.<\/p>\n The Trio has headlined a number of concerts and played at jazzfestivals in Iceland, Denmark and in the United States.<\/p>\n Svare \/ Thoroddsen on\u00a0You Tube<\/a><\/p>\n Umsagnir \/ reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n Morgunbla\u00f0i\u00f0<\/a><\/p>\n JazzTimes Critics\u00b4 Picks 2004 The Cadence Magazine<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 July 2004 (p.121) SWEET AND LOVELY<\/strong> J\u00f8rgen Svare \u2013 clarinett Bj\u00f6rn Thoroddsen \u2013 g\u00edtar J\u00f3n Rafnsson \u2013 kontrabassi Svare \/ Thoroddsen tr\u00ed\u00f3i\u00f0 var stofna\u00f0 \u00e1ri\u00f0 2002 \u00feegar J\u00f8rgen Svare kom til \u00cdslands og l\u00e9k me\u00f0 \u00feeim Birni og J\u00f3ni \u00e1 t\u00f3nleikum sem haldnir voru \u00e1 Akureyri og tileinka\u00f0ir minningu Finns Eydal, klarinettuleikara.

\nJAZZ AIRS
\n<\/strong>This satisfying trio is more evidence, if anyone still needs it, of the internationalism of Jazz. Svare, the senior member, has a long association with Danish Swing\/traditional Jazz as a veteran of Papa Bue\u2019s band; his sound hints at Edmund Hall or Lester Young, but his playing isn\u00b4t a set of historical gestures and clich\u00e9s. He is thoughtful and quietly soulful. Thoroddsen\u00a0 can toss off gypsy repartee as well as any of Django\u00b4s off-spring, but he\u00b4s also happy bending notes in bluesy commentaries, and his rhythmic work would support a much larger ensemble. His introductions suggest a rhapsodic Eddie Lang, but he has also heard Wes Montgomery. Bassist Rafnsson can emulate Walter Page or Michael Moore without strain. Hearing this trio, the listener is never waiting for the rest of the\u00a0 band to come in. The disc begins auspiciously with a medium-tempo original based on \u201cAutumn Leaves\u201d (hence the witty title) that harks back to Reinhardt but more to the Thirties Basie tradition that took unorthodox material, trimmed it down, picked a rocking tempo, and transformed \u201cWillow Weep For Me\u201d into \u201cTaxi War Dance\u201d. The trio\u00b4s repertoire is often familiar but happily varied: \u201cOver The Rainbow\u201d and \u201cA Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square\u201d are pretty without being mawkish; \u201cCaravan\u201d is free from melodrama (note its brief visit to \u201cSweet Georgia Brown\u201d).\u00a0 \u201cTango\u201d is bluesy and lilting ; \u201cBlues for Omer\u201d, a line evoking both \u201cBlue Monk\u201d and \u201cApex Blues\u201d, brims with moody emotion; \u201cA Jazz Air\u201d seems\u00a0 a fine folk melody given modern sophistication. \u201cMoonglow\u201d suggest early Goodman, as \u201cMood Indigo\u201d recalls Bigard and 1930 Ellington. Even \u201cTea for Two\u201d and \u201cThe Nearness of You\u201d played forthrightly as themselves, sound fresh. \u201cLady Be Good\u201d, taken at slow-drag tempo, regains all of her original splendor. The overall ambiance of this disc is rare and refreshing, as if this polished trio was performing on the front porch for an audience of friends.
\nCADENCE \u2013 July 2004<\/p>\n
\n–<\/em>\u00a0taken from\u00a0cdklassisk.dk<\/em><\/strong>
\nThe Clarinet player Jorgen Svare will be 70 this December (2005) but is still going strong and on this new CD, in fact he has never been better. Good taste, sublime technique and lots of curiosity characterize him and his Icelandic soul brothers, guitarist Bj\u00f6rn Thoroddsen and bass player J\u00f3n Rafnsson. The CD consists of numbers such as September song, Smoke gets in your eyes, Willow weep for me and Rosetta + new compositions like Undercover swing, Blue lagoon and Coffee and Cinnamon. Great laid back jazz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
