Places of Worship marks the return of Supersilent's trumpeter and vocalist Arve Henriksen to Rune Grammofon after his 2008 solo album Cartography for ECM—if we conveniently ignore the awesome compilation Solidification (Rune Grammofon, 2012).

Jazz: A Blessed Obsession

Fast forward to modern times, a quick scan of eBay and the exorbitant ...
