Jorn’s debut album.

For this CD he has collaborated with some of the most thrilling and fearless jazz musicians on the New York jazz scene.

The slightly deranged mind of Swart’s alter ego, Boriz, is the basis for a collection of quirky compositions. Together, they form an impression of a day out of Boriz’s turbulent life. Exploring moods from extreme paranoia to delicate romanticism, the music speaks to the volatilities of human emotion. Lively melodies and haunting moods hint at influences of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Chopin, and Ravel. The result is a dynamic album, where playful improvisations and nostalgic sounds bring to mind the atmosphere of a Film Noir.

[Swart has] mastered the art of using a single improvised line to elicit complex emotions – no small feat when the musician is winging it.” – Jazziz Magazine
