Svend Asmussen's 5tet [1942] - Cheek to Cheek



MC0yMzYyLmpwZWc.jpeg


Svend Asmussen (1916 – 2017) was a Danish jazz violinist, known as "The Fiddling Viking." A Swing style virtuoso, he played and recorded with many of the other jazz musicians, including Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Stephane Grappelli. He played publicly until 2010, his career having spanned eight decades.

Early in his career Asmussen worked in Denmark and on cruise ships, with artists such as Josephine Baker and Fats Waller. Asmussen later was greatly influenced by Stuff Smith, whom he met in Denmark. Asmussen played with Valdemar Eiberg and Kjeld Bonfils during World War II, during which time jazz had moved to the underground and served as a form of political protest.​

When Miles took his new sextet into the studio, he chose a repertoire of standards mainly comprised of muted tones, ballads and medium tempos and, at least in the introductions, the softness of brushes. Only “On Green Dolphin Street,” “Fran-Dance” (in tribute to Miles’ future wife, the dancer Frances Taylor) and “Stella By Starlight” were released at the time, on Jazz Track, along with the music for Lift To The Scaffold. In 1974, under the title 1958 Miles they were combined with “Love For Sale,” which revealed a much less introverted Bill Evans.​
