And at least two other pieces would not have ended up on “Momento Magico“ without this collaboration: for example the silkily Bossa-robed “Gnossienne“, the tune by Erik Satie, whom Wakenius has admired for so long, dedicated to their joint France manager Axel Matignon. Not many star guitarists would voluntarily cede into the inevitable role of accompanist to the “secret queen of jazz “ (Süddeutsche Zeitung), who is not only a star in her adopted homeland France: Wakenius dedicated the title track to her and the magical moments they shared together a number that combines “Frevo“, which they often played together, with Mozart. In recent years, Wakenius has made the biggest impact at the side of vocalist Youn Sun Nah. And that is what the new album “Momento Magico“ is all about – those rare and extraordinary moments outside the bounds of time and space that stay with you throughout an entire musical life. The unceasing quest for those magical moments in music is what drives jazz musicians to do what they do: “I was blessed to experience such moments in my work with wonderful artists like Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Youn Sun Nah and others,“ recounts guitarist Ulf Wakenius.
