His sophomore album ‘Balancing Act’, featuring Kendrick Scott and Alexander Claffy, is set to release on March 15th on April Records, alongside a reissue of his 2022 debut ‘Traits’.

In line with New York’s fast paced spirit, Sørensen received a phone call from Claffy and immediately headed into the studio to record a selection of American Songbook classics, a Coltrane number and a handful of originals with two veterans of the city’s prestigious scene. Having never played together before, with no preparation and a total of three hours to record, the resulting music is energetic, spontaneous, playful and exciting. 

Effortless groove, rich contemporary harmony, virtuosic improvisations, dextrous rhythmic complexity and intricate arrangements make for an adventurous and thrilling listen; the first meeting of three fearless and experienced masters of their craft. 

Initially released on digital services only on June 17th, 2022, Sørensen’s powerful debut is set for reissue on LP and CD via April Records. Inspired by the scenery, feelings and momentum of his time in New York, ‘Traits’ was recorded in rural Denmark, accompanied by Jon Henriksson on double bass and Francesco Ciniglio on drums. Rooted in tradition with a vivacious forward-thinking sense of modernity, the record received international critical acclaim from publications includingJazzwise Magazine and All About Jazz, and saw the trio embark on a 15 date tour across Europe in the summer of 2022.
