Storyville is now presenting previously unreleased material from world famous jazz violinist Svend Asmussen . ‘ Embraceable ’ was recorded in Paris in 1985 and 30 years later Asmussen found the recording in his home. It is now released on the occasion of his 99th birthday on the 28th of February 2015. ” I had never thought that this September Parisian night would be released and scrutinized, but honestly I think it is the best music I’ve ever recorded! ” said Asmussen when he was interviewed about the new release. In a tiny club in Paris with 26 guests he played a set with ’Singin’ in the Rain’ as his first tune. He played with three musicians he had never played with before and there was no rehearsal, only a few notes scribbled down. Just as they were about to play the radio man casually told them the concert would be broadcasted live on French radio and that Asmussen should present the set in French. This performance turned into Asmussen ’s favourite recording as he enjoys the atmosphere and the spontaneity of this live recording.
