Hedvig Mollestad Trio: All of Them Witches
by John Kelman
It may well be sexist to suggest that there are few female heavy rock guitarists. Still, as society moves towards greater equity among the genders, there are thankfully a lot more talented and intrepid women transcending conventional expectations of their “place" in music--and few countries exemplifying this more than Norway. Sidsel Endresen may be a singer, ...
Sidsel Endersen - Stian Westerhus: Didymoi dreams
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lo sguardo della Norvegia non è freddo come potremmo immaginare. Dai fiordi frastagliati da mille increspature, ecco la musica disarmante dell'insolito duo norvegese Sidsel Endresen e Stian Westerhus. Lei, vocalist di grande talento, con oltre trent'anni di carriera alle spalle e un vasto numero di interessanti collaborazioni (ricordiamo, ad esempio, l'attività nel Jon Eberson Group e ...
Grand General: Grand General
by John Kelman
Despite many members barely into their thirties, Grand General is a Norwegian super group of sorts. Ola Kvernberg is, perhaps, best-known internationally for a string of recordings that, including Folk (Jazzland, 2009) and the more ambitious Liarbird (Jazzland, 2011), have garnered the violinist/violist plaudits like the DnB NOR Award at the 2012 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Guitarist ...
Fire! Orchestra: Exit!
by John Kelman
Sometimes it's best not to predict. If the idea of expanding Fire!'s core trio of saxophonist/electric pianist Mats Gustafsson, bassist Johan Berthling and drummer Andreas Werlin into Fire! Orchestra's massive, 28-piece behemoth was based on the trio's extant discography-- You Liked Me Five Minutes Ago (Rune Grammofon, 2009), Unreleased (Rune Grammofon, 2011), and In the Mouth ...
Arve Henriksen: Solidification
by Henning Bolte
Arve Henriksen is one of today's most innovative, creative and busiest musicians in improvised music and jazz. He has his very own signature--first as a highly characteristic trumpeter/singer, but on other instruments and vocals, too. Those who only know him from his Cartography (ECM, 2008) or through his numerous sideman appearances, do not really know him--at ...
Moskus: Salmesykkel
by John Kelman
For a country isolated in the north of Europe, Norway has experienced a surprising number of musical waves. The first came in the early '70s, when producer Manfred Eicher and his fledgling ECM Records label brought the Scandinavian “big five"--Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson and, from Norway, saxophonist Jan Garbarek, guitarist Terje Rypdal, bassist Arild Andersen and ...
Mats Gustafsson: Stones
by John Eyles
Stones is a recording of the very first meeting of two remarkable saxophonists--legendary Swedish baritone and tenor player Mats Gustafsson and Montreal-based American Colin Stetson, a member of Arcade Fire's touring band as well as bass saxophonist of choice for an impressive list of musicians including Laurie Anderson, David Byrne and Tom Waits. The album's four ...
