At a very young age, Clausen began playing with many of the big names in jazz. His energetic piano playing was discovered by Dexter Gordon in 1969, around the same time that he began his long-term collaboration with Palle Mikkelborg in V8 and Entrance. Soon he was playing regularly with bassists Niels Henning Ørsted-Pedersen, Bo Stief and Mads Vinding and drummers Alex Riel and Bjarne Rostvold – often at the Jazz House Montmartre accompanying international jazz stars Ben Webster, Elvin Jones, Jan Garbarek, Joe Henderson, Phil Woods, Lee Konitz, Stan Getz, Chet Baker, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Jackie McLean, Gary Bartz, Johnny Griffin and others.
Thomas Clausen’s Sxtet carries the flame of tradition even as they examine and renew it on an album that is easy to keep enjoying and difficult to categorize.
Russo’s instrument, the bandoneon, is closely associated with tango, a fact that has influenced the music on SPANISH BLUE, but Clausen utilizes the expressive instrument to his own end, and - in interplay with Fuglsang’s and Gade’s saxophone and guitar – the instrumentation is deeply original.
