GINMAN/Jimmy Jørgensen are able to offer their own contemporary interpretation of moden songwriting/electronica/jazz, anno 2008. The band has just finished yet another successful tour with concerts in Århus, Odense and last but not least in Vega in Copenhagen. Denmark’s leading music magazine GAFFA wrote: “It was a wonderfully strange, evocative and sophisticated evening. Borders were wiped out, musical possibilities revealed, and bridges built between genres. It was more than a mere concert.” Read the entire review – in Danish – at: Gaffa review The highly acclaimed album ”Deep” was released on Universal Music at the end of 2007. It contains 9 songs, all of which are written, arranged and produced by Ginman. (The Danish Music Critic’s Association – which includes journalists from all of Denmark’s major newspapers and free newspapers – nominated Ginman for the ”STEPPEULV 2008 Prize”.) Ginman’s music can best be described as a dark, evocative, cinematic sound universe, built on an unmistakable foundation of acoustic urban jazz: sounds of the big city, cool, groovy and repetitious, laid-back and sexy, and under-played with sophistication. From whisperings to in-your-face urgency in a few, startling seconds. All custom-made to fit Ginman’s easily recognizable style that effortlessly removes borders between genres while incorporating sampling, SoundBits, spoken word, crackling noise and recorded natural sounds in his compositions. With this, his current project, Lennart Ginman presents Jimmy Jørgensen - one of Denmark’s most charismatic rock singers – in the timeless ballroom of jazz. But his patent leather shoes are seriously scuffed up and nothing is quite as it used to be. This is a meeting of the well known and the unknown, of acoustic music and electronica. By utilizing a line-up of musicians and an instrumentalization that is highly uncommonly today, it’s obvious that clichés are unwelcome. GINMAN/Jimmy Jørgensen is a natural development of the music Ginman created with Sort Sol singer Steen Jørgensen. In 1999 their record ”Ginman/Jørgensen” (with Steen Jørgensen) was awarded the Danish Grammy ”Best Danish Album of the Year” and Ginman personally was honored as ”Producer of the Year”. The album was also selected as the best Danish release of the year by the national daily newspapers Politiken, Berlingske Tidende, BT, and Ekstra Bladet, as well as the music newspaper Gaffa.
