Sven Jenssen - Calypso Beat

Review by Alex Falkenberg

Calypso Beat, the latest album by Sven Jenssen, is a delightful fusion of Caribbean rhythms and contemporary jazz. The album features catchy melodies, groovy beats, and soulful improvisations that showcase Jenssen's virtuosity as a pianist and composer.

The opening track, "Island Breeze," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and sunny vibe. The song features a lively horn section that adds a festive touch to the mix. "Rum Runner" follows with a more laid-back groove that highlights Jenssen's smooth keyboard skills.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Calypso Love," a romantic ballad that features Jenssen's delicate touch on the piano and a soulful saxophone solo by guest artist, David Sanchez. "Steel Pan Jam" is another highlight that showcases the album's Caribbean influence with its steel drum melodies and funky bassline.
