Norwegian saxophonist Petter Wettre strikes out on his own, releasing two discs on his newly created label Household Records . While the label is new, Wettre’s horn playing has graced nearly forty dates over the years. His own releases as leader have been impressive, especially Meet The Locals (Resonant, 1998) and The Mystery Unfolds (BP, 2001). Both power trio records add a few guests here and there with ambitious selections from post-bop jazz, funk, and the avant grocery isles.
