The Song Remains is a jazz project led and initiated by drummer Karsten Bagge, reinterpreting the iconic music of Led Zeppelin. In 2019, Led Zeppelin celebrated the 50th anniversary of their debut album, which revolutionized rock music and set a new direction for the genre. The band, composed of some of the most sought-after players on the Danish and European jazz scene, brings a fresh perspective to these timeless songs.
Concept and Arrangements
Drummer and composer Karsten Bagge, delving into his musical roots, has crafted modern, jazz-inspired arrangements of Led Zeppelin’s classics. The aim is not to replicate the raw energy of the original performances but to explore new expressions within these familiar tracks. The sound, interplay, and arrangements are distinct, offering both a sense of nostalgia and unexpected twists on the classics.
Album and Live Performance
The debut live album, recorded at the renowned Drop Inn in Copenhagen, captures the vibrant energy and spontaneity of their live performances. Drop Inn, known for its intimate atmosphere and strong connection with the audience, was the perfect venue for this recording. The album showcases their ability to blend the powerful legacy of Led Zeppelin with the nuanced, improvisational spirit of jazz.
