Eclectic electric jazz comes of age
by Mark Corroto
Back in the 1980s, the marriage of jazz and electronics produced the unfortunate, creativity destroying “jazz fusion" genre. That was because drum machines, synthesizer produced horn lines and computer generated hand claps were often too perfect. A sort of “sanitized for your protection" version of motel drinking glasses. Think about the then innovative trumpeter Miles Davis' ...

Jan Bang: Head, Shoulders, Hips, Knees and Toes
by John Kelman
When it comes to organically integrating modern technology into music, few countries are innovating to the degree of Norway, and at the epicenter of that country's forward-thinking approach to melding improvisation with jazz and Norwegian traditionalism--not to mention contemporary classicism, pop, ambient and more; truly any and all musical markers--is producer/remixer/sampler Jan Bang, who has just ...
Bushman's Revenge: Jitterbug
by John Kelman
With Jitterbug, Bushman's Revenge asserts that the modern power trio continues to be alive, well, and living in...Norway. You Lost Me At Hello (Rune Grammofon, 2009) was an intense, often-times relentless debut that married Hendrix-ian psychedlia with Ayler-esque abandon. Leaning hard towards the rock side of the jazz-rock equation, the personnel remains the same, but is ...

Sebbene il packaging, austero come il solito, non lo dica espressamente, ...
Supersilent: 9
by John Kelman
What do you do when you lose one of your founding members? Well, if you're Norwegian avante-improvising group Supersilent, you continue on, almost as if nothing has happened. Not that the loss of drummer Jarle Vespestad wasn't felt; it's just that, for Supersilent's remaining members--Arve Henriksen, Ståle Storløkken and Helge Sten (aka Deathprod)--the needs of the ...
