  • Jan Erik Kongshaug
    JAN ERIK KONGSHAUG THE OTHER WORLD ACT 9267-2 Release Date Germany: February 1999 Jan Erik Kongshaug is one of a handful of recording engineers whose name and work over the years has earned the respect and admiration of musicians and discerning jazz connoisseurs the world over. His work with Manfred Eicher of ECM records is memorable, and Kongshaug is now one of the most requested sound engineers in jazz. With the recording of his first CD at the age of fifty-four, Kongshaug is revealing to the jazz world that he is also a superb musician and composer. Jan Erik was born into a musical environment. His father was a well known guitarist in Norway, while his mother was a professional singer. When Jan Erik was seven, he began playing accordion; around the age of 14, he picked up the guitar. By the early 60's his inauences counted the likes of Barney Kessel, Wes Montgomery, and Kenny Burrell. After graduating from high school, Kongshaug began to study electrical engineering. He found himself gravitating towards sound engineering, and was soon working at the Arne Bendiksen Studio in Oslo. In 1970, ECM head Manfred Eicher came to Oslo to make a recording at the Bindiksen Studio with Jan Garbarek. Jan Erik Kongshaug was the recording engineer. The resulting album, „ric Pepperbird", was the beginning of a continuing musical relationship that has spanned almost thirty years. In 1978 Kongshaug started a five year period of freelancing. He began Aying to the States for three or four days every month to work as sound and mixing engineer at the legendary Power Station studio in New York City.

Mange konserter solgte flere billetter enn ventet, og særlig gledelig var det å se et økende publikumstall på de smalere konsertene. Programmet i denne perioden hadde en flott bredde, fra unge talenter til etablerte verdensstjerner, fra storbandfrijazz, kunstpop, elektrojoik til mainstream. 12. mars ble det brått slutt. Dette var starten på, for oss som for alle andre, en krevende tid. I en uoversiktlig og ukjent situasjon satte vi i hovedsak i gang med å flytte konserter for å gi så mange artister som mulig en ny konsertdato.

  • Trygve Seim Frode Haltli Yeraz
    ECM Trygve Seim Frode Haltli Yeraz Trygve Seim: tenor and soprano saxophones Frode Haltli: accordion ECM 2044 CD 6025 175 7975 (0) Release: September 2008 “Listen as this reed pipes its plaint/Unfolds its tale of separations”– so begins Rumi’s “The Song of the Reed”. When Trygve Seim and Frode Halti play – activating reeds with lungs and bellows – sounds of saxophone and accordion can be remarkably close, as they draw together the cries of the world. Seim and Haltli explore the similarities between the instruments and the musical history they share. Writing in Jazzwise magazine, UK journalist Geoff Andrew praised a recent Berlin performance by the duo at the appropriately-named Shared Sounds festival. “Trygve Seim and Frode Haltli played a rewarding extended duet that embraced all manner of moods and allusions. The fragmented interplay between saxes and accordion was quite mesmerizingly beautiful.” The cover shows an open road stretching towards the horizon, and this is music in movement; Its sources include Armenian traditional music (the title track), music of G.I. Gurdjieff (the Greek-Armenian philosopher-mystic who collected traditional material on travels around the Caucasus and the Middle-East), Caribbean Wailers’ reggae (a rubato version of Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song”), a free waltz with a nod to US singer-songwriter Tom Waits (“Waits for Waltz”), improvisations.... Some favourite pieces are revisited: “MmBall” (by Seim’s drummer Per Oddvar Johansen), Seim’s “Bhavana” and “Airamero” (the latter from the repertoire of Trygve’s old band of the early 1990s, itself strongly ECM-influenced) and more – all tunes newly arranged by Seim and Haltli.
