Bugge & Henning: Last Spring
by John Kelman
With such a focus on jazz, it's easy to forget that, at the end of the day, all music is--or, at least, comes from-- improvised music. Whether drawn from the ether and performed in real time or written down on manuscript, it's still drawn from the ether. Classical music has its own history in improvisation, ranging ...
Stian Westerhus: The Matriarch And The Wrong Kind Of Flowers
by John Kelman
Beyond his reputation as Norway's “hardest working guitarist"--an éclat supported by, amongst many others, ongoing membership in Nils Petter Molvær's trio and assuming the producer's role for the trumpeter's Baboon Moon (Sula, 2011); collaborating with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra for Ripples, raptures and disbelief (a Molde Jazz Festival commission screaming for release); and, with Didymoi Dreams ...

Acuna/Hoff/Mathisen: Jungle City
by John Kelman
While some accuse the musical innovations taking place in Scandinavia as diluting “America's art form," there's plenty of evidence to the contrary. Many of the artists regularly stretching jazz's boundaries by introducing outside references can play in the tradition; they just choose not to. With Finding Nymo (ACT, 2009), Norwegian trombonist Helge Sunde and his Ensemble ...
Terje Gewelt: Oslo
by AAJ Italy Staff
Elegante, decadente, nostalgico e contemporaneo. Quattro aggettivi che provano a descrivere il colore e i bagliori del cielo sopra Oslo, il nuovo album firmato da Tereje Gewelt (basso), Enrico Pieranunzi (piano), Anders Kjellberg (batteria).
