Hakon Kornstad: Single Engine
by Budd Kopman
Saxophonist Håkon Kornstad, although barely into his thirties, has been involved over the last ten years in many different projects spanning many genres, always trying to stretch himself and expand the tools needed for self-expression. He has developed a distinctive sound on his horn and for those who know his music, an attitude that is serious, ...
"Musicista o grafico questo è il dilemma" Intervista con Håkon Kornstad

Håkon Kornstad: Single Engine
by AAJ Italy Staff
Vogliamo innanzitutto tranquillizzare gli ascoltatori perché, sebbene si tratti di un disco quasi completamente per solo sassofono, non siamo di fronte a un lavoro ostico e difficile. Altra particolarità è data dal fatto che, sebbene esca per la Jazzland Recordings, l'elettronica non ha un ruolo centrale: si tratta anzi di un viaggio nell'universo di Håkon Kornstad ...

As was done previously, the tunes range from older and newer standards to intriguing tunes by today's composers, plus a ...
Hakon Kornstad: Single Engine
by John Kelman
Solo saxophone recordings are hardly new in the jazz canon, but you'd be hard-pressed to find one like Kornstad's Single Engine. Håkon Kornstad's star has been on the ascendance on the Scandinavian scene in diverse improvisational contexts including free group Tri-Dim, Jazzland owner Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conception of Jazz club music and Wibutee, a group marrying ...
Hakon Kornstad: Single Engine
by Eyal Hareuveni
Norwegian saxophonist Håkon Kornstad has been one of the central figures on the new Norwegian scene that aspires to break new vistas beyond the almost codified ECM representation of the Nordic scene. Kornstad has shown, over the last decade, a wide scope of expression and mood, with his post bop Kornstad Trio [Space Available (Jazzland, 2002)], ...

Hakon Kornstad and Havard Wiik: Eight Tunes We Like
by Budd Kopman
Hakon Kornstad and Havard Wiik have produced an absolute gem of an album that is on my short list for Best of 2005. The joys of Eight Tunes We Like are manifold and start with this release's title. They are being more than half coy by using the word “tunes . A glance at the track ...
