SAKA: Cementen
by Eyal Hareuveni
The second album from Norwegian power trio SAKA, after last year's Posh! (FMR Records), serves as another reminder of the fertile Norwegian music scene that keeps breeding such excellent bands.

Wolfram Trio: Wolfram
by Eyal Hareuveni
Wolfram Trio is a new Norwegian outfit that adds its own version to the existing European mix of acoustic free jazz and free improvisation.

Gjerstad shows a fondness for the upper-register and produces a myriad of microtonal and edgy ...
Zanussi 13: Live
by Mark Corroto
Don't let anyone tell you that size doesn't matter. It does. For a large jazz ensemble, size often dictates sound: its suppleness or lack of. This is not a problem for the malleable Zanussi 13. This live recording from a 2001 performance in Oslo displays an unpretentious big band that deals with size by exploiting its ...
