Grab your free copy of The Six of Us by Richard Andersson NOR
I’m a Copenhagen-based bass player and composer playing modern jazz. I’ve been playing music since I lost my eye sight as a teenager. As a bandleader I’ve released several albums with Danish and international musicians such as Oskar Gudjonsson (IS), Rudi Mahall (DE), Kasper Tranberg (DK), Jerry Bergonzi (US), Ra-Kalam Bob Moses (US), Tony Malaby (US) and Bill McHenry (US).
Today, I’m giving away my most personal album to you for free.
Why should I send you a free CD?
The Six of Us is an album about family and about the importance of family and community. As a jazz musician without a huge label behind me, having a community means everything to me. It’s a way of sharing the music, life and everything in between, and it’s a way of having a continuous conversation. Giving away this album for free is a way for me to connect with you and possible form a shared link, that I hope will continue for a long time.
Why is this album so special to me?
The Six of Us is an album from my trio with Oskar Gudjonsson on saxophone and Matthias Hemstock on drums. I’ve known and played with these guys for ten years and together we share a special bond – both as humans, as friends and musically. The title of the album refers to a point in time right after the birth of me and my wife’s fourth child, when we essentially became the family, we are today – a family of six. The different tracks of the album are dedicated to different members of my family.

What’s my story?
I was 14 when I lost my eyesight and I’ve been playing music ever since. I’ve played with big international stars as well as the best jazz musicians in Denmark. In recent years I’ve started to explore how our senses and the loss of one of them can be translated into music. My solo project U·Synligwhere I improvised solo pieces on my double bass based on audio descriptions of visual art works was nominated for a Danish Music Awards Jazz for a prize as the best cross-aesthetic production in 2022.
