One thing I have noticed while doing scat music is that it can be really hard getting young people to listed to real jazz music. They want hip hop, rock, R’n'B and all those kinds of music.
The main problem seems to be that they don’t understand jazz music properly, they hear the various instruments but not the sound and feeling behind it. I have tried to slowly introduce the young people for jazz with my new album solcelleanlæg.
Solcelleanlæg starts out with some more popular and mainstream beats inspired by rythm and blues with a twist of pop and then slowly works in more and more jazz music. I have been playing Solcelleanlæg for a few youngsters now and to be begin with they prefered the songs in the beginning of Solcelleanlæg but as they listened more and more it, most of them actually seemed to end up liking the jazz songs at the end the best especially the song at the end which caries the same title as the album Solcelleanlæg or the number before that called Solfanger like the ones described here at Solfanger.
What makes Solcelleanlæg and Solfanger so different from regular jazz music and scat music is that combine different types of music like jazz, R’n'B and pop music in a perfect way, the first few times you listen to it you most likely won’t enjoy it very much but after a few times its one of these songs you can enjoy over and over for years.
The song Solcelleanlæg is a basic love song about a girl who meets a boy at the market, falls in love at first sight and then spends the next few hours trying to get him to notice her instead of checking out all the other girls with his friends.
Many of the other songs on the album are also about love but the one Solfanger is a bit different, it’s about this old man who are trying very hard to get some of his music published, he has been writing and playing music for years and are very talented but never managed to get anywhere with it.
Then one day this rich guys who’s wife just passed away comes by while he is sitting on the street playing, and instantly takes a liking to the music and wants to invest in the musician and help getting his songs recorded and published.
But a lot of the stuff is basicly about love and to experiment a bit with different types of music, something I really enjoy as I like many others hate to put music in fixed boxes. But the main purpose with solcelleanlæg is to make more people interested in jazz music and show them that it can be a great form for music and something really worth listening to if you take the time to learn it a little bit better.
