Reviews

Danish guitar-bass-drums with guests Ed Jones (two tracks) and Andy Sheppard (one). Rough and likeable, a feel which follows through into the unglamorous sound, which is more like a live than a studio mix. "Overnight Miracle" is an exceptionally pretty ballad. James Brown's "I Feel Good (I Got You)" is no jazz tune, though it makes good use of the group's rockier leanings.
John Truitt, Jazz Review, November 2001

Heard the one about the Englishman, the Dane and the Swede? Actually they're a rather fine Anglo-Scandinavian trio and Ouch! is the quietly unassuming follow-up to their 1996 debut Standin'Tall. The band - guitarist Mads Kjølby Olesen, drummer Petter Svärd and bassist Steve Kershaw - are all graduates of the highly regarded Musicians Institute in Los Angeles and their defining credo is revealed most clearly on the album's sole cover (if you'll pardon the pun), James Brown's done-to-death classic 'I Got You (I Feel Good)'. Stekpanna's unusual take sees an unlikely encounter between the godfather of soul and the waltz king, transforming this perennial floor-filler into a swinging 3/4. This follows similar makeovers of Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water' and 'My Funny Valentine' on the debut. The nine originals are packed with idiosyncratic themes, tricksy rhythms, resourceful soloing and an eye for a sharp title to boot ('Bring on the Dancing Diesels' being a nostalgic nod to Steve Kershaw's hometown of Halifax). Guests Ed Jones and Andy Sheppard offer typically big-hearted contributions.
