More info: "THE DANISH SAXOPHONE- & ACCORDION PLAYER, ESKIL ROMME, is a man of relative few words, but a lot of idealism, an idealism that he seems to be able to realize into action more often than most idealist that I have known. ESKIL IS PLAYING IN SEVERAL BANDS, traveling around the world performing a mix of traditional and contemporary Nordic and Celtic music, but at the same time he and his wife, Gertrud, runs an organic farm situated in one of the most beautiful spots in Himmerland, in the Northern part of Denmark. ESKIL IS ORGANIZING the music all year round for the local music venue, Halkær Kro, as well as the small but exclusive Halkær Festival that goes on, on the first weekend of June every year (www.halkaer.dk). ESKIL ROMME IS ALSO A GREAT COMPOSER, who just recorded the album "Himmerlandsmelodier", named after the area where he lives. The album features a few of his good friends like the accordion player, Karen Tweed (UK), the piano player Peter Rosendal (DK) and the violinist Ditte Fromseier Mortensen (DK). ESKIL ROMME himself is playing the saxophone ON THIS ALBUM, and if you have a listen to the music, I am sure that you'll agree that this is a beautiful and truely original piece of work, one of the kind that stays in your head and makes you wonder." - Morten Alfred Høirup, musician, composer and music journalist

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
