Echoes

reflect development and its engagement with jazz and Indian music. “Echoes” contrasts expansive, improvised passages with dense orchestrations, creating a balance between air and fire—a timeless soundscape that encompasses both spiritual openness and rhythmic intensity. The suite “Echoes of India” is the centerpiece of the album and is based on the light and lyrical “Raga Durga”. The suite begins with a captivating solo by Palle Mikkelborg, and in Part II, an improvisation between Mikkelborg and Fabian Weber at the piano gives way to a beautiful ballad. Part III has a strong rhythmic appeal, driven by elegant and energetic drumming. The album concludes with one of Møller’s best-known compositions, “Folk Song No. 1”, which is based on a Danish folk song. The NDR Bigband is much more than a radio orchestra. It has countless invitations to festivals and concerts at home and abroad, several awards, and more than 60 recordings in recent years to its credit.
