[ August the 26th, 2022 release on Norsk Jazzforum: This Is Our Music – Jazz Out Of Norway vol.10 ]
The Norwegian jazz scene has it all: cutting edge-contemporary, orchestral and vocal jazz, jazz rock…and a growing audience, jostling and responding to the music while getting younger and younger. It has a background in folk music, with original instruments and sounds, traditions carried forward and transformed by the people of today. It has a classical music heritage with prominent composers who have left a deep mark. All of this has pushed the nation’s music… ANNE YVEN

Fast & Furious FIRE! Trio releases their latest Requiēs EP , with Stephen O’Malley & David Sandtröm, the first thing from the last year’s Defeat. Swedish Trio led by multi reed player Mats Gustafsson and completed by Johan Berthling on electric bass and Andreas Werliin on drums needs no further introduction to the fans of unpredictable, ferocious Scandinavian jazz. The limited to 1000 copies vinyl pressing had been sold out in just few days and became unavailable since three months to the official launch time. Impressive, huh ?

[ 25th of March,2022 release on Rune Grammofon: Action & Tension & Space – Tellus ]
release date: 25.03.2022 on Rune Grammofon
The band describe themselves as a spaced out, instrumental lounge-rock outfit, with added elements of folk music, jazzy surf, psychedelia, free improvised chill-out, jangly post-rock and travelling bass. Not much for us to add here, apart from possibly a pinch of krautrock.

[ 25th of March,2022 release on Rune Grammofon: Master Oogway with Henriette Eilertsen – Happy Village ]
release date: 25.03.2022 on Rune Grammofon
“Happy Village” is Master Oogway’s third album, their second on Rune Grammofon. The music on the previous outing two years ago (“Earth And Other Worlds”) was all written by Håvard, while the music on “Happy Village” is written by Karl Erik, one track co-written with Håvard.
“Happy Village” finds the band in a more lyrical and exuberant mood than before, in no small part due to Henriette’s beautiful contributions.
