Nils Petter Molvaer: Colors, Noises and Moods

Read "Nils Petter Molvaer: Colors, Noises and Moods" reviewed by Adriana Carcu


Trumpeter/composer Nils Petter Molvær is one of the main exponents of Nordic Jazz--a geographic ramification that has acquired, especially during the last decade, the status of an independent genre. He has created his own style by combining traditional instrumental elements with electronic sound processing: a fusion characterized by pregnant rhythmical patterns and a meditative mood.

Christian Weidner: The Inward Song

Read "The Inward Song" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


On The Inward Song, German alto saxophonist Christian Weidner has crafted music that defies categorization more than most--a slippery sound in terms of tagging it with descriptive phrases. Weidner employs a quartet this time out, following up the trio effort of his first Pirouet Records release, 2004's Choral. This new foursome is a remarkably cohesive ensemble, ...

Claudio Scolari: Colors of Red Island
