Sigbjorn Apeland / Oyvind Skarbo / Nils Okland: 1982
by John Kelman
On a per capita basis, creativity and innovation coming out of Norway is thoroughly disproportionate to a population straining to reach five million. With a particularly strong reputation for its intrepid exploration of modern technology and instrumental orthodoxy, there's also plenty going on without the benefit of laptops, turntables and effects processors. When harmonium player Sigbjørn ...
Kallerdahl / Seglem / Ulvo / Hole / Sjovaag: Skoddeheimen
by John Kelman
With NORSKjazz.no (Ozella Music, 2009), veteran saxophonist, producer, label head and goat horn virtuoso Karl Seglem brought a distinctive Norwegian flavor to the conventional sax/piano/bass/drums format.

That album announced the arrival of a trio distinctive for the subtlety and ...
Eple Trio: The Widening Sphere of Influence
by John Kelman
If there's a singular specific approach that Scandinavian musicians have brought to jazz, it's a temporal elasticity where time is often fluid, whether or not it's clearly defined. While rubato playing is nothing new, it's become a trademark through the playing of pianists like Bobo Stenson, Tord Gustavsen...and now, Andreas Ulvo and Eple Trio. As different ...
Per Jorgensen / Terje Isungset: Agbalagba Daada
by Eyal Hareuveni
In the African Yoruba language, the title of this excellent release means “old and wise man." In a figurative manner, Norwegian, Bergen-based trumpeter Per Jørgensen and percussionist Terje Isungset gradually attained their status of Agbalagba Daada as they have adjusted and broadened their musical perspectives through the growing process of life. Jørgensen is known ...
