Description

With "Blue After Hours," jazz trumpeter Dan Jacobs scores another big win and in creating a perfect soundtrack for your quiet pursuits, undertaken with the lights down low or perhaps by candlelight or fireside. ~Scott O'Brien, SmoothJazz.com

"I was struck by Dan Jacobs' beautiful sound on trumpet - his warm, full sound, his articulation, vibrato, use of space and his thoughtful and logical improvised lines. Dan Jacobs approach is clearly about taste and musicality."
- Winthrop Bedford - Jazz Improv Magazine

"Don't Know Why" is very evocative and heartfelt. Intriguingly so. I particularly like trumpeter Dan Jacobs' sense of space in his playing; I love guys who are so confident in what they have to say that they're not afraid to let the silences add depth to the overall picture."
- John Hammel - WNTI - FM

This album began with the idea of trying to capture the unique essence of a live jazz performance in a club like Caveau de la Huchette in Paris or Bakers Keyboard Lounge in Detroit.

It's the feeling you get while experiencing an exhilarating night of listening to jazz, where you're transformed by a club full of strangers united for one common aesthetic purpose; the smells and sounds of people, smoke, booze and jazz; the feeling of being crowded around a small, well-used table in front of the bandstand at any one of a thousand small jazz clubs around the world being pleasantly seduced by the sounds of live jazz being played in the environment in which it was born.

Perhaps this CD might jog memories of some of those times in the past . . . or let you imagine what it might be like to experience it in the future.

So, sit back, take it down a couple of notches, relax and enjoy . . . "Blue After Hours."
