Read "Half Nelson Courtship" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

by John Kelman

2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 Norway may be a country that, more than most, aims to expose people from around the world to its culture through annual events like JazzNorway in a Nutshell, but as rich an experience as attending that junket is, returning to it on a regular basis is an ...

Read "Signature Edition 3" reviewed by John Kelman

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 ...

Tord Gustavsen Ensemble: Restored, Returned

Read "Restored, Returned" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

With three albums mining a seemingly narrow area--and proving just how broad that territory really--Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen changes gears with Restored, Returned. Abandoning the longstanding trio that, with Changing Places (ECM, 2003), The Ground (ECM, 2005), and Being There (ECM, 2007), brought him greater international acclaim, Restored's quintet remains relatively introspective in tone. Still, with ...

Nils Petter Molvær: scheletri, campionamenti e filetti di pesce

Read "Nils Petter Molvær: scheletri, campionamenti e filetti di pesce" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Intervista di Paul Olson Non è esagerato rimarcare l'importanza del disco d'esordio di Nils Petter Molvær Khmer, realizzato per l'ECM nel 1997. Il trombettista-compositore norvegese era familiare all'etichetta di Manfred Eicher, visto che faceva parte dei Masqualero, che avevano registrato per l'ECM, e aveva preso parte a varie session di registrazione con altri artisti della casa ...
