F-sharp minor: The Recluse

Welcome to the Signature Series.

The key signatures of music are kind of like the signs of the zodiac.

If you take all the music in a given key, you’ll discover certain characteristics —﻿ characteristics that can define your personality.

Which key are you? http://bit.ly/whichkeyareyou

The Signature Series was originally produced for CBC Radio 2's In Concert by http://www.soundcloud.com/paolopp with Denise Ball.

Saxophonist, flutist, composer and band leader Fredrik Lundin is one of the major jazz profiles of his generation in Scandinavia. Since arriving on the Danish Jazz scene in 1981 this elegant and explosive musician has been searching relentlessly into the realms of contemporary music, respecting no boundaries. A truly original and virtuoso voice, performing in bands around Europe and Scandinavia, such as his own 5 Go Adventuring Again, the 10 piece Tone of Voice orchestra, which he co-leads with singer and songwriter Trinelise Væring, the 13 piece MaLuBa Orchestra, which he co-leads with Marilyn Mazur and Kasper Bai, and with Marilyn Mazur Group, Jon Balke magnetic North Orchestra and Carsten Dahl.  
Also he is a distinguished composer for contemporary ensembles, jazz groups and big band, as well as theater and modern dance performances.
He's released 13 albums as a leader and appears on more than 40 other albums as soloist and sideman.
He's received numerous prizes and awards, among them 3 Danish Music Awards (Grammys) for best jazz release of the year, the Ben Webster Prize for his musicianship and the Stamina Prize awarded by the composers association DJBFA.

Songwriter and musician. My last name is Rach (like "Bach" with an "R", or "Rachmaninov"). So I've been imagining myself as a rock star ever since I discovered Rock music. I've been writing or should I say channeling songs since my 20th birthday when I was ditched on my birthday. I felt God speaking through me as I feverishly allowed the words to flow onto the paper as if I were being controlled by a higher power. it was my first love song my first real song. I went into the studio the next day and recorded it. Tomy utter joy and disbelief, everyone who heard it was moved to tears. I surprised myself with the performance and was convinced I had a God given gift. I've been developing that gift for more than 30 years. The time for me to share my talent with the world is way overdue. I fear that I might have missed my calling. It's still the thing I want to do most and that my heart continues to beat for. My bleeding beating heart won't stop untill I've blessed the world with the gifts I've been given. It is my destiny, my passion, my creative gene and I'm determined to get it out there in this, my second life that's just begun.
