Live at Konzerthaus Berlin, April 2, 2017

The culmination of the day of celebration in Berlin was a Gala Concert by the “ACT Family Band.” The evening built naturally to a whole-band, whole-family finale in which the combined ensemble, led by Ida Sand, launched into “We Are Family”. As an expression of togetherness, of a shared joyful ethos it would be hard to beat. These Jubilee Concerts made it possible to experience at close quarters what ACT exists to achieve: it is a leading label where listeners can discover newly created music “in the Sprit of jazz.” The label’s range and its previously unimagined connections are a constant source of surprise from which it draws ever-new inspiration to connect the unexpected. Mike Flynn, Editor of Jazzwise wrote in his review of the concert that the ACT label has “a smile on its face and a swagger in its step”. And where might the best evidence for that statement be found? It’s all there on this album. --- actmusic.com

Jazz invariably means making things for the first time. And it is only by leaving the well-trodden paths, by looking risk and danger in the eye can that one find the unexpected and the unheard. In this process, ACT has the role of a reliable compass, pointing a listener looking for jazz, or for exciting music “in the spirit of jazz” consistently in the right direction. ACT loves what it does, has been doing it well for a quarter of a century, and continues with the same ethos into the future. ACT 25 Years is a flood of memories. But it also serves as a re-affirmation. --- challengerecords.com
