Tord Gustavsen Quartet: The Well
by John Kelman

Subsequent touring around the world, including a number of North American dates, honed ...

by John Kelman
Oslo International Jazz FestivalOslo, NorwayAugust 15-20, 2011 There's always an eager sense of anticipation when returning to Norway, whether it's the barren but beautiful north of Svalbard, the stunning, mountain-surrounded Molde, the picturesque Kongsberg, the fjord-gateway of Bergen or the rugged beauty surrounding Kristiansand.

Wolfert Brederode Quartet: Post Scriptum
by John Kelman
At a time when the world is becoming an increasingly busy and, in some cases, hostile place, it's easy to forget the power of music, to create a space away from the demands and stresses of day-to-day life, where it's possible to just sit back, absorb, and become absorbed in something transcendent. Music doesn't always have ...

by John Kelman
2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 It may be true, at least most of the time, that familiarity breeds, if not exactly contempt, then certainly complacency; but that simply doesn't apply if subject is Norway--and, in particular, its disproportionately large and vibrant music scene.

Mats Eilertsen Trio: Elegy
by John Kelman
He's best-known internationally for his work on ECM recordings by artists including guitarist Jacob Young, pianist Wolfert Brederode, and, most recently, pianist Tord Gustavsen, with whom he's been touring in support of Restored, Returned (2010). But while these associations might suggest a bassist disposed to gentler forms and understated freedom, they're only two of Mats Eilertsen's ...
The Master Musicians of Jajouka: The Source
by AAJ Italy Staff
I Master Musicians of Jajouka piombano nella vita musicale dell'occidente alla fine degli anni Sessanta, quando la loro tradizione musicale trova - da William Burroughs a Ornette Coleman, passando per Brian Jones (che ne fece la fortuna discografica pure se era già morto) - un varco felicissimo nei cuori e nelle orecchie voraci di un pubblico ...
