Unni Wilhelmsen: 7
by John Kelman
She may be less known on an international level, but Unni Wilhelmsen is something of a star in her own country, with her 1997 debut going gold and winning two Norwegian Grammy Awards ("Best Female Artist of the Year," “Best Album of the Year"). Not bad for a singer/songwriter who began playing guitar at the age ...
Jan Bang: Head, Shoulders, Hips, Knees and Toes
by John Kelman
When it comes to organically integrating modern technology into music, few countries are innovating to the degree of Norway, and at the epicenter of that country's forward-thinking approach to melding improvisation with jazz and Norwegian traditionalism--not to mention contemporary classicism, pop, ambient and more; truly any and all musical markers--is producer/remixer/sampler Jan Bang, who has just ...
Jan Bang: ….and poppies from Kandahar
by John Kelman
It's rare for an album to quietly shake the foundation of what music is...and can be. Fifteen years after Jan Bang first innovated the concept of live sampling--turning an Akai MPC 3000 sampler into a true improvising instrument by sampling other musicians in real time and feeding processed musical ideas back; pushing and pulling the music ...

David Berger Jazz Orchestra Sing Me a Love Song: Harry Warren's Undiscovered Standards Such Sweet Thunder 2010 If composer Harry Warren is remembered at all, it is for such blockbuster hits from the 1940s as “Chattanooga Choo-Choo" (the country's first million-selling record), “I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" ...
Nguyen Le: Signature Edition 1
by Chris May
Nguyên Lê Signature Edition 1 ACT Music 2010 It might seem perverse to begin a review of a Nguyên Lê release with the observation that there is “too much fusion" on it, as, increasingly since the late 1990s, it is to the fusion mast that the ...
Lars Danielsson: Signature Edition 3
by John Kelman
That Swedish bassist Lars Danielsson is a pliant, flexible player who's worked with American artists including John Abercrombie, Pat Metheny, and David Liebman, and notable European names such as Eivind Aarset, Ulf Wakenius, and Nils Petter Molvær isn't much of a secret--at least, not to audiences on the east side of the Atlantic. In North America ...
Ulf Wakenius: Signature Edition 2
by John Kelman
For the second in its Signature Edition compilations, dedicated to--and selected by--its vanguard artists, ACT profiles a guitarist who only became an exclusive artist in 2005, with the release of his homage to pianist Keith Jarrett--Notes From the Heart--but whose career truly demands retrospection and reevaluation. Unlike Signature Edition 1's fusion guitarist Nguyên Lê, who has ...
