SWING VIOLIN MASTERPIECES

Svend Asmussen

Svend Asmussen, who passed away in 2017 at age 101, was a pioneer of jazz violin, whose amazing career spanned more than 80 years in two centuries. This four-volume collection contains 80 classic performances from his first 15 years as a recording artist.

The program includes selections from his first historic session recorded in 1935 in Copenhagen with the Argentine swing guitar master Oscar Aleman whose work is well documented on Swing Guitar Masterpieces (ACD-29). Svend was also a ground-breaking jazz vocalist and vibraphonist in Europe and his unique arrangements, vocal and instrumental, are featured here extensively. Svend met David Grisman in Copenhagen in 1985 when the DGQ played the famed Jazzhus Montmartre and they became fast friends. David invited Svend to tour in the US in 1986 and they recorded an album Svingin' With Svend during that tour. In 1988 they played the Berlin Jazz Festival together as well. This collection was produced by David Grisman for Acoustic Oasis.
