One of the most popular groups on the Danish jazz scene for the past number of years, their energetic blend of jazz, surf, afro and funk music have also made Ibrahim Electric a hugely popular live attraction.
If the piano trio is the heartland of the jazz romantic, then the organ trio is where its mischievous alter ego comes out to play.
At least it's that way with Copenhagen’s Ibrahim Electric, a glorious swamp thing of distorted sounds which see the hammond console trade chops with guitar riffs indebted to 60’s psychedelia, and some brawny drumming that wouldn’t be out of place in stadium rock.
This slightly unsettling and hugely enjoyable proposition is brought to you by three outstanding Danish musicians, for whom Ibrahim Electric puts them in touch with their masculine side!
Organist Jeppe Tuxen is highly regarded as pianist with the group Endorfin but takes a robust approach to the Hammond console, guitarist Niclas Knudsen exploits an interest in African music to inject a vibrant Afrobeat element, and drummer Stefan Pasborg puts aside the colouristic devices for which he’s highly regarded in the Danish contemporary scene to bring only the good groove.
The result is relentless, infectious, compelling, commanding and downright good fun.
“Ibrahim Electric ‘kick ass’! These 3 young musicians displays some seriously large reserves of energy… This is better than Viagra!” - Information, DK
"Gets under your skin and into your blood faster than a Ganges parasite... with its irresistible guitar motifs and cantering percussion, Ibrahim Electric could be the sound-track for a spaghetti western in Mali "- All About Jazz, USA.
