Svend Asmussen
Still Fiddling CD (2002) (Import) Denmark
Jacob Fischer discography
 $31.55 
With Grappelli's death in 1997, there is no reason why this swinging violinist shouldn't achieve wider recognition, particularly with this excellent studio date. The CD also ranges from Eubie Blake's "Memories of You" to classical composer Edvard Grieg's "Jeg Elsker Dig" and the Jewish melody "Shalom Elechem." Asmussen is also a delight as a composer, contributing the joyful "Silly Shuffle." Swing fans should pick up this disc without hesitation. Svend Asmussen's career has unfortunately been overshadowed by phenomenal success of Stephane Grappelli. ~ Ken Dryden
Recorded at Audiophon Studios, Allerod, Denmark. "Sermon for Stuff," though obviously dedicated to the late violinist Stuff Smith, is a slow waltz that has a bit of a reverential air to it. A brisk "Hallelujah," powered by Tanggaard's brushwork, is easily the most adventurous track. The understated treatment of "How Deep Is the Ocean" passes the solo spotlight continuously among the string players, while Fletcher Henderson's "Down South Camp Meeting," a piece pretty much overlooked since the heyday of Benny Goodman, swings like mad. Accompanied by guitarist Jacob Fischer, bassist Jesper Lundgaard, and drummer Aage Tanggaard, Asmussen's diverse program is full of surprises.

Soren Siegumfeld
Blue Hat CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Jacob Fischer CD discography
$31.55
The leader, who mostly plays alto sax, sticks to providing a bit of percussion in "So It Better Be," an amusing tango, while "Blue Hat" and "The Stolen Alphabet" are a bit of gypsy swing à la Django Reinhardt. ~ Ken Dryden
Soren Siegumfeld: Soren Siegumfeld; Tobias Durholm (violin); Jacob Fischer, Josefine Cronholm, Richard Galliano.
Personnel: Josefine Cronholm (vocals); Jacob Fischer (guitar, acoustic guitar, background vocals); Jacob Gurevitsch (electric guitar, background vocals); Tobias Durholm (violin); Ingemar Brantelid (cello); Richard Galliano (accordion); Peter Fuglsang (bass clarinet); August Engkilde (percussion, background vocals); Afonso Correa (percussion); Anne Seier (palmas).
Audio Mixer: Jorgen Knub.
Recording information: Granny; Southfork Ranch Studios; Timleless Recording Gato Barbieri's "Last Tango in Paris" showcases Siegumfeld, who has a dryer sound more akin to that of Paul Desmond, though the funky "Orlando Superstar" is the oddest track at all, with hand percussion and a prominent role for Jacob Fischer's dobro. His music grows slowly upon the listener, particularly if attention is paid to his somewhat offbeat lyrics, which aren't always in English. Soren Siegumfeld's String Swing is an unusual collage of different styles within what seems to a suite, featuring accordion master Richard Galliano and the infectious vocals of Josefine Cronholm.
