""True North" is a very varied album. You hear pure jazz pieces on which the saxophone dominates, compositions in a small line-up and songs that are supplemented with strings."

Morten has composed music for television, commission work and numerous tours / projects. His first album “Short Stay feat.

His latest album “TRUE NORTH” (Challenge Records, 2019) once again showcase new compositions by Morten in a stellar lineup with some of the finest jazz musicians in Europe: “Several listenings to this music, only solidify the obvious, that Morten Ramsbøl is clearly his own musical spirit . Highly original, a payer of homage to the totality of jazz performance and the unique position that the bass occupies within it…one foot firmly placed in that history, the other constantly exploring new directions within the path less traveled”

Music like snow from the far north.
Trouw, 01-2-2019
... The fact that he, Schmölzer and the English tenor saxophonist Julian Argüelles, the Swedish pianist Jacob Karlzon and the Igmar Jenner String Quartet finally assembled the finished notes into one of the most beautiful jazz albums of the recent past in sunny Italy of all places makes him rightly proud...
