Keefe Jackson/Josh Berman/Jon Rune Strøm/Tollef Østvang: Southern Sun
by Mark Corroto
Americans have discovered Norwegian jazz artists through several sources. Manfred Eicher's ECM label has produced music by the now famous artists: Arild Andersen, Jan Garbarek, Tord Gustavsen, Terje Rypdal, Trygve Seim and Nils Petter Molvaer. Their success bled into the modern sounds of Bugge Wesseltoft, Per Zanussi, Håvard Wiik, and Hakon Kornstad. Perhaps the closest connection ...
Atomic: Lucidity
by Troy Collins
Living up to their name in performance and on record, the all-star Norwegian quintet Atomic challenges preconceived notions regarding the stereotypically introspective nature of Nordic jazz. Inspired by the unbridled spirit of 1960s American “Fire Music" and the post-war school of European free improvisation, Atomic eclipses the meditative lyricism of influential local legends like Jan Garbarek ...

Atomic al Carambolage, Bolzano
by Giuseppe Segala
Piccolo Teatro Carambolage Bolzano 14.04.2014 Quando si pensa alla scena scandinava, l'associazione mentale va subito a musicisti che percorrono le strade delle atmosfere soffici, levigate, spesso con melodie evocative, dalle tinte sfumate e leggere. Spesso poco stimolanti. Oppure ci si riferisce alla ricca scena degli esploratori elettronici, che specialmente in Norvegia annovera ...
François Houle, Håvard Wiik: Aves
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il clarinettista del Québec François Houle e il pianista norvegese Håvard Wiik sono i protagonisti di questo notevole album che, non solo per l'abbinamento strumentale, evoca temperature cameristico-contemporanee più che strettamente jazzistiche. I sentieri battuti dai due performer variano da brano a brano, pur nel segno--costante--di una preziosità, un'eleganza, una cerebralità che non ...
Tim Daisy: A Fine Day In Berlin
by Mark Corroto
Blender drinks sometimes disguise their ingredients. A little peanut butter and banana tossed into your kale and spinach smoothie might provide just the right flavor camouflage. Likewise, adding drummer Tim Daisy (and his compositions) into a piano trio recording will produce results that are anything but standard trio fare. Daisy, one of Chicago's go-to ...
Four Artists Of The Jazz Clarinet Renaissance
by Dan Bilawsky
Since the jazz clarinet never really died, renaissance--or rebirth--may not be the term that best describes what's happening to the instrument in the twenty-first century jazz universe; it is, however, a pretty good one word synopsis. The licorice stick was there at or near the start, tooting along next to the trumpet and ...
