Song To An Old Friend · Jakob Bro · Joe Lovano · Larry Grenadier · Thomas Morgan · Anders Christensen · Joey Baron · Jorge Rossy

Song To An Old Friend, part of the ECM catalog (2022), transcends musical language to deliver a profoundly emotional and contemplative experience. Led by Danish guitarist Jakob Bro, the track gathers an outstanding ensemble of musicians, including Joe Lovano, Larry Grenadier, Thomas Morgan, Anders Christensen, Joey Baron, and Jorge Rossy, in a performance that feels both intimate and expansive.

The piece builds upon a minimalist framework, with Jakob Bro’s guitar crafting soundscapes full of space and resonance. Joe Lovano’s saxophone provides a warm and evocative melodic voice, while the rhythm section —featuring bassists Larry Grenadier and Thomas Morgan, along with the subtle percussion of Baron and Rossy— establishes a delicate foundation that suggests motion without rushing.

The melancholic tone of Song To An Old Friend seems to pay tribute to a memory, a place, or a lost relationship, allowing each musician to contribute a personal nuance. The melodic lines remain intentionally open-ended, leaving space for the listener's interpretation. This characteristic ECM approach ensures that the nuances of silence are as significant as the notes themselves.

The result is a deeply moving piece that blends lyricism and abstraction. Song To An Old Friend encapsulates the essence of what Jakob Bro and ECM have cultivated: music that breathes, reflects, and organically connects with human emotions. A work best enjoyed in solitude, to fully appreciate its beauty and subtlety.
