The Book

In October/November Cantando Publishing Company will publish “Jazz Bridges” a book consisting of about 70 compositions. The book will be easy to use for those who want to play my music. It will be mostly short tunes from my CD recordings, and basics for improvisation + some never before recorded music as well. It will also come with some introduction and thoughts about how to get the most out of it. Terry Nilssen-Love is making new visual art for the book. It will be very exciting.

Påkker Kårner (D. Ingvaldsen)

CADENCE JAZZ MAGAZINE (US)
“The writing is interesting, the improvisations not undistinguished and it has a good raucous yet thoughtfully put quality. Didrik has in-out playing abilities like an Enrico Rava for today.”
Bill Donaldson

NORSK JAZZNYTT (NO)
“Hvis du er frijazzentusiast, er dette den plata du skal bruke for å overbevise mer tradisjonelt anlagte publikummere om at det er du som “egentlig alltid har hatt rett”. Og omvendt: Om du til nå har hatt et trøblete forhold til frijazzen, er Pocket Corner bandet som sannsynligvis vil få deg til å sjekke terrenget en gang til.”
Arild Rønsen

JAZZ SPECIAL (DK)
“Godt humør præger denne ungdommelige plade. Flere gange smilte jeg for mig selv og tænkte: bare jeg havde været med til at spille den linie, den var fandeme frækt skrevet eller aftalt. I det hele taget holdes der en fin balance mellem aftalt spil og fri tilstedeværelse, som er meget appellerende.”
(Anders Kirkegaard)

BERGENS TIDENDE (NO)
“Dette er tradisjonsforvaltning av frijazz, men er samtidig en plate som burde treffe et mye større publikum enn den harde frijazzkjernen.”
ERIK STEINSKOG
