Food: This Is Not a Miracle
by Mark Sullivan
British/Norwegian experimental jazz group Food have done something a little different with each album, especially since downsizing from a quartet to the duo of Iain Ballamy and Thomas Stronen (plus guests).

by John Kelman
When you've got some time to kill between two festivals--in this case, Burghausen, Germany's B-Jazz Festival and Vossa Jazz in Voss, Norway, the following weekend--there are few better places to do it than Oslo, a city that supports live music better than most cities in the world, with the possible exception of New York.

Tone Ase / Thomas Stronen: Voxpheria
by Eyal Hareuveni
The covers of Norwegian label Gigafon, designed by bassist Rune Nergaard, send an unsettling message. The cover of Voxpheria is no different, with its alien scenery and what looks like a homage to Norwegian thriller writer Jo Nesbø's invented torture instrument, Leopold's apple, taken from his The Leopard (Harvill Secker, 2011). And indeed, ...

Sounds of Norway
by Nick Catalano
Perhaps because of the staggering snowfalls which have occurred in the northeast since winter started, my mind recently turned to Scandinavia. I was listening to some recordings that I brought back from Denmark on a visit last year, and wondering what those Nordic musicians were up to these days when some new music arrived in the ...

Torben Snekkestad: Conic Folded
by Mark Corroto
Patient jazz can be both restrained and determined. But, maybe the best word to describe the jazz of saxophonist/clarinetist Torben Snekkestad is persistent. The thirty-something Norwegian reeds man is both a classical and jazz composer playing in the Copenhagen Saxophone Quartet, London Improvisers Orchestra, Trygve Seim Ensemble, and Among Machines with Thomas Stronen. Conic ...
