Biography
For more than two decades IBRAHIM ELECTRIC has been one of the most popular European jazz groups. This unique band consisting of Niclas Knudsen (guitar), Jeppe Tuxen (hammond) and Stefan Pasborg (drums), can now celebrate 20 years of touring, recording and friendship – and the band is better than ever!
Their quirky – provocative – extroverted – original music sticks its fingers into just about every musical cookie jar… and sends cascades of pearls from the speakers. But their style is not for the pedantic. There are elements of old fashioned soul/jazz – AFRObeat – 60’s acid-power-beat – and of course the trio’s trademark: the fast, almost-punk passages in which the three musicians merge into one playful organism. Each of the band-members possess an extremely high level of musical ENERGY, and they have a mutual love for the pure energy in the music… This has made this unit extraordinary!
“Ibrahim Electric ‘kicks ass’! – This is better than Viagra!” – Information, DK
Whether Niclas is playing a guitar solo in the spirit of Ali Farka Toure…Jeppe is playing a solo that leads your mind to the Hammond-icons of the 1960’s…or Stefan is playing a drum-solo with avantgarde elements, the one thing that overshines it all, is their love for playing and performing, and the sheer intensity of their expression! In autumn of 2023 Ibrahim Electric will record their 11th album! And once again the trio will find new unpredictable paths through the musical jungle and map it out with a whole bag of new
compositions…
”Do you remember the feeling of listening to a band for the first time and being completely blown away by the sheer majesty of the performance? For those of you who have experienced this, be prepared for it to happen again. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, you will understand. Prepare yourself for IBRAHIM ELECTRIC!” – Hammondbeat.com, USA
IBRAHIM ELECTRIC har lenge vært en av de mest populære europeiske jazzgruppene. Deres sære – provoserende – ekstroverte – originalmusikk stikker fingrene inn i enhver musikalsk kakekrukke … og sender kaskader av perler fra høyttalerne.
Danskenes stil er ikke for den pedantiske. Det er innslag av gammeldags soul / jazz – AFRObeat – 60-talls syre-makt-beat – og selvfølgelig trioens varemerke: de raske, nesten-punk-passasjene der de tre musikerne smelter sammen til en leken organisme. Enten Niclas spiller en solo-gitar i ånden av Ali Farka Toure … Jeppe spiller et solo-piano i ånden fra Hammond-ikoner på 1960-tallet … Stefan spiller en solo-tromme med avantgarde elementer, det som overskriver det hele er gleden ved å spille og fremføre, og intensiteten i uttrykket deres!
Høsten 2023 spiller Ibrahim Electric inn sitt 11. album! Og nok en gang vil trioen finne nye uforutsigbare veier gjennom den musikalske jungelen og kartlegge den med en pose full av nye komposisjoner…
«Gets under your skin and into your blood faster than a Ganges parasite… with their irresistible guitar motifs and cantering percussion, Ibrahim Electric could be the soundtrack for a spaghetti western in Mali» – All About Jazz, USA
