by Ian Patterson
Vossa Jazz Various venues Voss, Norway March 18-20, 2016 Perched high on the mountain side, the weather-beaten wooden farm houses of the Voss folk museum command a truly impressive view of the town below, ringed by snow-capped mountains, interlocking valleys and ice-covered fjords that stretch to the four points ...

by Paolo Peviani
All About Jazz: Dopo due album come sideman, al fianco di Andy Sheppard, il tuo primo album da leader con l'ECM. Com'è andata?

Phil Barnes' Favourite Albums of 2015
by Phil Barnes
I am grateful to All About Jazz for their continued loyalty and support for my writing during a difficult year when I learned some things about what David Sylvian called the 'banality of evil' that I'd rather not know. Musically the year in the UK was distorted by the London Jazz Festival in November, with many ...
Gard Nilssen's Acoustic Unity: Firehouse
by Giuseppe Segala
Disco intelligente, compatto nell'ispirazione e nella durata, Firehouse presenta il trio Acoustic Unity del batterista norvegese Gard Nilssen. Un disco impostato su un free dalle tinte moderate, che comunica immediata freschezza, fluidità, coesione di gruppo. Ben impostato su una durata umanamente accessibile per chi ascolta, denota anche sotto questo aspetto la capacità di sintetizzare idee, di ...

by Karl Ackermann
In her debut recording with the large Norwegian ensemble Torg on Kost/Elak/Gnäll (Jazzland Recordings, 2015), the playing of saxophonist Mette Henriette Martedatter Rølvåg may well have been lost in the pack. That Bugge Wesseltoft produced album was an unrestrained mashup of genres, styles and techniques in an octet that didn't easily lend itself to individual performance ...

Their success bled into the modern sounds of Bugge Wesseltoft, Per Zanussi, Håvard Wiik, and Hakon Kornstad. Perhaps the closest connection ...

by Joan Gannij
North Sea Jazz Festival Rotterdam, Netherlands July 10-12, 2015 Three days immersed in sounds and sensations. Followed by two days at home in zombie mode, zen silence.
