Andreas Loven e il Questionario di Proust
by AAJ Staff
All About Jazz: Il tratto principale della mia musica. Andreas Loven: Come compositore, aspiro a creare delle melodie forti. E penso che la musica sia una chiara estensione della mia vita e dei due paesi in cui ho vissuto (Sud Africa e Norvegia). “Il calore e i ritmi polverosi dell'Africa, filtrati attraverso il freddo e ...
Tord Gustavsen, Simin Tander, Jarle Vespestad: What Was Said
by Neri Pollastri
Continuità e radicale cambiamento in questo nuovo album di Tord Gustavsen: il pianista di Oslo è ancora in trio con il fido batterista Jarle Vespestad, ma con la cantante tedesca di origini afgane Simin Tander a sostituire il contrabbasso; al pianoforte affianca un inedito, moderato impiego di elettronica; ancora al lavoro su materiale di ispirazione sacra ...

Nils Økland Band: Kjølvatn
by Mark Sullivan
Norwegian Hardanger fiddle specialist Nils Økland has a broad range of musical interests, as illustrated by his eclectic discography.

Tord Gustavsen with Simin Tander & Jarle Vespestad: What was said
by Ian Patterson
An exciting new trio sees Tord Gustavsen and Jarle Vespestad combine with German-Afghan singer Simin Tander to submit Norwegian church music to the push and pull of improvisation and the spell of thirteenth century Persian Sufi mystic, Jalal al-Din Rumi's poetry. What might seem like an esoteric experiment, in fact follows logical currents. Gustavsen's ensembles have ...
Snik: Metasediment Rock
by Glenn Astarita
Snik is a Norwegian quartet with a spirited approach as the respective musicians have been quite active performing with conventional and avant-garde European and USA-based jazz artists. Trombonist Kristoffer Kompen and double bassist Ole Morten Vagan's compositions present a kaleidoscopic mix of popping post-bop and free-bop style motifs often catapulted by a web of knotty unison ...
Time Is A Blind Guide
by John Kelman
Over the past couple of decades, Thomas Strønen has become, perhaps, best-known for his unfettered improvisational forays in electro-centric contexts: sometimes freewheeling and frenetic, as in Humcrush, the drummer/percussionist/electronics wizard's hardcore duo with his similarly inclined Norwegian partner, keyboardist Ståle Storløkken (and occasional guest, singer Sidsel Endresen); other times more spaciously ambient in the atmospheric Anglo/Norwegian ...
