Helge Lien Trio: Norwegian Standard Time
by Eyal Hareuveni
At first glance, the repertoire of Norway's Helge Lien Trio could be misleading. Many of the covers the trio has included on its five albums to date are classics from the bop era, suggesting a revivalist outfit. But that's not how it is. Instead, the trio use evergreens as familiar as Miles Davis' “So What" or ...
Arild Andersen / Frode Alnaes / Stian Carstensen: Hostslov (Autumn Slow)
by Eyal Hareuveni
Høstsløv (Autumn Slow) is the third seasonal offering by the Norwegian bass master Arild Andersen and two of his fellow countrymen, guitarist Frode Alnæs and accordionist Stian Carstensen, after covering traditional Norwegian summer songs on Sommerbrisen (Summer Breeze) (KKV, 1998) and old and new Christmas carols on Julegløggen (KKV, 2003). Høstsløv is another collection of familiar ...
Deep Throat: New Voices From Israel
by Eyal Hareuveni
Israel's small jazz and improvised music community includes a high proportion of scholars from the country's music academies. They study jazz and improvisation as part of the curriculum, but have access to few off-campus venues where they can experience the music live, either as audience members or as musicians. The upside is that the absence of ...
Solveig Slettahjell: Good Rain
by Eyal Hareuveni
This fourth release by Norwegian vocalist Solveig Slettahjell and the Slow Motion Quintet offers another magical experience. On Good Rain, these creative and busy musicians expand the musical language that they began to explore on their previous release, Pixiedust (Curling Legs, 2005). In addition to Slettahjell, the group includes trumpeter Sjur Miljeteig, formerly of the jazz-pop-electronica ...
John Tchicai: Two New Trios
by Eyal Hareuveni
The Danish-American saxophonist John Tchicai, now resident in France, should need no introduction. He began building his reputation forty years ago on John Coltrane's Ascension (Impulse!, 1965), and even now, at over seventy years old, he's still going strong. On two fine new releases--Witch's Scream, recorded in New York in September 2004, and Good Night Songs, ...
Iowa Blues: Bo Ramsey and Greg Brown
by Eyal Hareuveni
Iowan guitarist Robert Franklin 'Bo' Ramsey is usually associated with the revered Iowan folksinger Greg Brown. He's played on and produced Brown's releases since 1990. He also notably co-produced blues singer Lucinda Williams' Essence (Lost Highway, 2001). Brown's The Evening Call, co-produced with Ramsey, is another mature statement from both artists. Ramsey deserves recognition ...
Hilde Hefte: On The Corner
by Eyal Hareuveni
In the last decade Norway has become a flourishing hotbed for many young musicians who seem to enjoy blurring the so-called lines between jazz and other neighboring genres. But Norway has also a very solid mainstream jazz community that the recent international exposure of the local scene seems to have missed. Singer Hilde Hefte, from the ...
Jamie Saft Trio: Trouble: The Jamie Saft Trio Plays Bob Dylan
by Eyal Hareuveni
The sophomore release by the Jamie Saft Trio is a provocative and entertaining statement. Trouble attempts to reexamine Dylan's legacy from a Jewish point of view, as part of Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series, and to position Dylan as a Jewish role model--views that Dylan most likely would have renounced immediately. But furthermore, Trouble is provocative ...
Yitzhak Yedid: Reflections Upon Six Images
by Eyal Hareuveni
Israeli composer and pianist Yitzhak Yedid's sixth release, his third for the German Between the Lines label, is his most assured and most improvised statement to date. Yedid replaced his cerebral, well-crafted, dense and intricate compositions this time with a looser road map that sketched themes and motifs, but left plenty of room for the members ...
