Burnin Red Ivanhoe

The Profile

Burnin Red Ivanhoe are a Danish progressive rock band formed in 1967, known for jazz‑inflected, wind‑driven arrangements and albums such as M 144 (1969), their 1970 self‑titled, and W.W.W. (1971).

Danish progressive/jazz‑rock outfit active from the late 1960s to 1974. The 1970 self‑titled album is praised for lively, wind‑led arrangements and a blend of jazz, blues, and folk (per DeBaser review). By 1974 the band had released six albums, including M 144 and W.W.W.

One detailed review praises the 1970 self‑titled album for lively, wind‑led progressive rock rich in jazz, blues, and folk elements. Highlights include dynamic instrumentals, groove, and strong ensemble technique. The CD reissue adds short, pop‑psychedelic Danish outtakes unlike the main LP. Overall verdict: a hidden little masterpiece, highly recommended for prog lovers.
