Jazz
Ingrid Jensen - flugelhorn and trumpet
Gary Versace - organ
Jon Wikan - drums
Grab a seat and listen up: Ingrid Jensen, Jon Wikan and Gary Versace's group Project O lets loose with bold evidence of a bright future. Taken at face value, the title pays homage to the organ, the beefy Hammond B3 of hard bop legend. Track after track explodes the instrument's traditional trio format (one of the album's conceptual goals) without overriding its natural impulse to groove. No small feat there, but mission accomplished. The results are fresh, funky, and modern. Ingrid Jensen has become one of the top practitioners of the modern jazz trumpet. She plays with guts and audacious rhythmic drive from a continually expanding harmonic pallet. Seamus Blake should be recognized among the top echelon of those who play the instrument. His ever-varied, crisp articulation makes lines fresh and interesting, part of his sassy, hard bop attitude. Veteran alto player Steve Wilson embodies the creed of the true improviser: he eschews the commonly overworked routes to take the road less traveled. Making last minute, split second choices certainly helps him avoid the same-old same-old. But no matter how spontaneous or unusual the path, he lays it down with great rhythmic authority. This horn section enjoys the nearly telepathic support of organist Gary Versace and drummer Jon Wikan. These two lock together in a Vulcan mind-meld. It's that tight. Alto player Christine Jensen, Ingrid's considerably talented sibling, guests on three cuts. When she improvises, Christine plays through the center of a song, cutting deep below the surface rather than skidding along on top. She adds a strong and challenging presence
Ingrid Jensen
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Born: 1967
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Hard Bop, Post-Bop
One of the most-gifted hard bop trumpeters of her generation, Ingrid Jensen was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1967. After attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston, she toured Europe with the Vienna Art Orchestra's production Fe and Males; following the completion of the tour, she remained abroad, teaching jazz trumpet and becoming, at age 25, the youngest professor at Austria's Bruckner Conservatory. Jensen also toured with Lionel Hampton & His Golden Men of Jazz before returning to the U.S. in 1994, joining the big band DIVA; that same year, she also recorded her debut LP, the Enja label release Vernal Fields. An acolyte of Miles Davis, Art Farmer, and Woody Shaw, her second album, Here on Earth, appeared in 1997 and was followed two years later by Higher Grounds.
