Johan Lindstrom & Norrbotten Big Band: Johan Lindstrom & Norrbotten Big Band
by Vincenzo Roggero
Continua a sfornare grandi album Moserobie, etichetta creata da Jonas Kullhammar sassofonista e illuminato agitatore musicale svedese. Perché di un grande album questo Johan Lindstrom & Norrbotten Big Band si tratta. Non il classico schema solista-orchestra ma un organismo proteiforme, sorprendente, che si scompone, si assottiglia, si nasconde, esplode, si rilassa, creatura dadaista che solletica i ...

by Josef Woodard
Vossa Jazz Voss, Norway March 31-April 2, 2023 Origin stories in the still-young-ish wild frontier of jazz festival culture can be fascinating case studies in feisty pioneer spirit.

Radka Toneff, Steve Dobrogosz: Fairytales
by Angelo Leonardi

Il giudizio è stato espresso in un referendum del 2011 che ha coinvolto i musicisti del paese scandinavo ed è risultato in linea con le scelte del pubblico: Fairytales è tuttora il più venduto album jazz norvegese.

Natsuki Tamura: Summer Tree
by Dan McClenaghan
In 2002, the Natsuki Tamura Quartet released an album called Hada Hada (Libra Records). It sounded as if it was plugged into ten thousand volts, even Tamura's trumpet, and especially Satoko Fujii's synthesizer, in the making of a soundtrack to a “Cyborgs March on the Capitol" movie. And those cyborgs were mad. Odd stuff. In 2022, ...
Jo Berger Myhre: Unheimlich Manoeuvre
by Dan McClenaghan
Norwegian bassist Jo Berger Myhre is not new to the music scene—he has worked extensively with Nils Petter Molvaer's quartet, contributing to the trumpeter's Buoyancy (Okeh, 2016) and Stitches (Modern Recordings, 2021).

Unconventional Instruments
by Karl Ackermann
ECM regularly tops lists of the best jazz labels though their full name--Edition of Contemporary Music--would argue for a broader scope of content. A substantial number of their most popular albums, such as Carla Bley's Escalator Over The Hill (1974), Egberto Gismonti: Dança Dos Escravos (1989), Nils Petter Molvær's Khmer (1997), and many more, are not ...
Arthur Hnatek: On putting the EDM into Jazz & making acoustic music with electronic appeal
by Friedrich Kunzmann
Miles Davis and like-minded free-spirited vanguards of his day opened jazz up to countless influences during one of the genre's heydays in the late '60s and early '70s. Ever since, the boundaries of jazz have been broken down more radically, disseminated and increasingly blended with everything from current trends in popular music to classical music and ...
