about

The Dog is loose!

On Dog is proud to present a new fabulous trans-european project
started and led by Francesco Bigoni and Mark Solborg. The group is a unique selection of original voices and in-demand musicians from Italy, Denmark and Luxembourg carrying contemporary music with an edge.

Together and invidually the members of On Dog have played and recorded with such prominent artists as Evan Parker, Gianluca Petrella, Enrico Rava, Stefano Battaglia, Greg Cohen, Jim Black, AACM, Herb Robertson, Chris Speed, Paal Nilssen-Love, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Hank Roberts, Bobby Previte and many others.

On Dog began in 2012 as Bigoni og Solborg fused two trios: Hopscotch (ILK) and Crisco 3 (El Gallo Rojo) - and gathered the newly formed ensemble for three days of workshop, intensive musical exchange and a concert in Massa Lombarda, Italy. Here, and at following concerts, it became clear that this lucky-punch-combination of players and music
had natural access to a beautiful musical common ground.

The music is new, original and with an edge: Essentially a study on counterpoint and polyphony which allows five performers (all experienced composers and free improvisers) to be confronted by through-composed pieces. Here Francesco Bigoni and Mark Solborg’s voices and pens meet again and ranges from transparent, chamber-like passages (mostly
part II) to rocking bursts of sound caried by drums, baritone and guitar( Part I ).

Selected reviews:

“..the clarinet of Bigoni floats through a fragile veil of sound and destills a truly adventurous epos of profoundly moving beauty. The music grows with every replay and confirms the quintet ON DOG as a new refreshing band with an original sound, based on mesmerizing, polyfonic contemporary melody – dancing in complex rhythms. Bravo !”
- Bjarne Søltoft, Jazznytt.

"[...] there is an organic and thoughtful sense of urgency that makes this trek feel like one we’d like to take."
- Donald Elfman, New York City Jazz Record

" Brilliant recording, genuine and perky musicianship, shrewd compositions, band interplay and interesting arrangements. Unconditional recommendation!"
- Ragazzi.de

"Music always needs international encounters and exchanges. It happens too often that, at a high career level, these encounters happen due to marketing reasons, or merely putting all-star musicians together. On Dog is a remarkable and absolutely precious exception."
- Enrico Bettinello, Blow Up (IT)

"... konzentriertes Interagieren, behutsames Ausreizen des Gegeneinander von geschlossenen und offenen Formen. 85 Minuten Musik (...) die nie langweilig werden. "
- FreiStil (DE)

On Dog strikes deeply for its ability to narrate the most unquiet dreams of European Jazz
- Enrico Bettinello, Musica Jazz (IT)

"Une collaboration exemplaire et “Made in Europe” ..ces deux disques sont une sorte de modèle de ce que l'on aimerait voir plus souvent advenir sur notre Vieux Continent!"
- Thierry Quénum, Jazzman (FR) [CHOC-sticker on both records]

about

Francesco Bigoni Copenhagen, Denmark

Surveying Bigoni's work is a rewarding experience. His range is broad, and his enthusiasm, passion and
execution are infectious as they are impressive. These days, most of his working bands artfully balance
composition with rigorous free improvisation
