Nun beweist als aus Norwegen. Jan Garbarek ist der Fixstern, doch war es er es auf dem ausschließlich mit eigenen Kompositionen vor allem auch die zweite, in den 1960er Jahren geborene bestückten „Slow Snow“. Das Spiel mit Nähe und Distanz, mit Generation, die dem „Nordic Jazz“ zu weltweitem Ansehen verhalf: Entspannung und Verdichtung, mit Exzentrik und Schlichtheit, mit Nils Petter Molvær, Bugge Wesseltoft, Geir Lysne, Eivind Aarset elektronischen Sounds und Naturklang charakterisiert das Album. und eben auch der Saxofonist Tore Brunborg. Obwohl in der Vor allem der Gegensatz zwischen den ganz reduzierten, mitunter norwegischen Jazzszene hochangesehen, ist Brunborg fast knorrigen Basis-Rhythmen und -Motiven und den warmen und international eher als Sideman bekannt. Erst jetzt hat der 54- lyrischen Saxofonlinien verleiht Stücken wie „History“ oder „Tree Jährige mit seinem ACT-Debüt „Slow Snow“ einen internationalen Strong, Tall Swaying, Swinging, Sighing“ (der Titel ist fast schon Auftritt in eigener Sache. eine allegorische Inhaltsbeschreibung) einen beseelten, kraftvollen Flow, der fesselt.

Manu Katché, der gerne neue Einflüsse sucht und seine Bands oft umbesetzt, hält seit vielen Jahren an Brunborg Es ist an der Zeit, einen stillen Helden des Nordic Jazz zu fest und hat unlängst erklärt, warum: „Zunächst ist er ein entdecken. großartiger, bescheidener Mensch, der es einem leicht macht, mit ihm zu arbeiten oder auf Tour zu gehen. Der musikalische Grund ist noch wichtiger. Tore wird rot, wenn ich es ihm sage, aber es ist wirklich so: Wenn er spielt, klingt es immer genau so, wie ich es mir beim Komponieren vorgestellt habe, ohne die Klänge erzeugen zu können. Wenn ich definieren müsste, wie meine melodischen Ideen, meine Sound-Fantasien für Bläser aussehen, dann würde ich immer sagen: Hör dir Tore an.

  • Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World
    1 Chapter Seven Cold Commodities: Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World Haftor Medbøe Since gaining prominence in public consciousness as a distinct genre in early 20th Century USA, jazz has become a music of global reach (Atkins, 2003). Coinciding with emerging mass dissemination technologies of the period, jazz spread throughout Europe and beyond via gramophone recordings, radio broadcasts and the Hollywood film industry. America’s involvement in the two World Wars, and the subsequent $13 billion Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe as a unified, and US friendly, trading zone further reinforced the proliferation of the new genre (McGregor, 2016; Paterson et al., 2013). The imposition of US trade and cultural products posed formidable challenges to the European identities, rooted as they were in 18th-Century national romanticism. Commercialised cultural representations of the ‘American dream’ captured the imaginations of Europe’s youth and represented a welcome antidote to post-war austerity. This chapter seeks to problematise the historiography and contemporary representations of jazz in the Nordic region, with particular focus on the production and reception of jazz from Norway. Accepted histories of jazz in Europe point to a period of adulatory imitation of American masters, leading to one of cultural awakening in which jazz was reimagined through a localised lens, and given a ‘national voice’. Evidence of this process of acculturation and reimagining is arguably nowhere more evident than in the canon of what has come to be received as the Nordic tone. In the early 1970s, a group of Norwegian musicians, including saxophonist Jan Garbarek (b.1947), guitarist Terje Rypdal (b.1947), bassist Arild Andersen (b.1945), drummer Jon Christensen (b.1943) and others, abstracted more literal jazz inflected reinterpretations of Scandinavian folk songs by Nordic forebears including pianist Jan Johansson (1931-1968), saxophonist Lars Gullin (1928-1976) bassist Georg Riedel (b.1934) (McEachrane 2014, pp.

  • Jon Balke Book of Velocities
    ECM Jon Balke Book of Velocities Jon Balke: piano ECM 2010 CD 6025 173 2765 (8) Release: October 23rd, 2007 The cover photo of “Book of Velocities” was taken by Jon Balke from a moving car. “I like to test-listen to music while driving, and the camera was on the seat beside me. All I had to do was to grab it and shoot wildly, without looking at or through the camera. Next time I adjusted the programming of the camera for better results, and the time after that I understood more of the way light became graphic. And so a series of velocity pictures evolved.” As in photography, so in music on Balke’s first solo piano recording, a remarkable ‘book’ of 19 short pieces, grouped into four chapters and an epilogue. Music composed and developed, invented and improvised: exploring a whole vocabulary of ideas, techniques, rhythms, textures and sound-colours. The approach: the pianist sketches an idea at the piano, quite spontaneously, waits a few seconds and develops the idea through a series of takes – and then moves on to a new ‘chapter’. Balke calls it “a process of understanding by doing and not by pre-conceived ideas.” The outcome is also a result of the room, hour of the day, the piano, the light and so on.” Speed is part of the process: “Piano playing is in fact mainly about velocity. There is no more information going through the mechanics when a note is struck, than the sheer force of your finger hitting the ebony and ivory.

  • 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.

    100 YEARS OF RECORDED SOUND INSIDE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE: Music Collections at the National Library of Norway, Rana Division Trond Valberg (Senior Archivist, National Library of Norway)* The National Library of Norway, Rana Division (hereafter NB Rana), was founded in 1989 when Parliament passed its latest Legal Deposit Act. The decision to choose a location 1,000 km north of the capital was a political one. In connection with the establishment of NB Rana it was decided to build a huge storage vault blasted into the mountain. The constant rock temperature of 9°C during every season makes it suitable for long-term storage of different kinds of material. There are 42,000 metres of shelves on four floors, and we have already prepared for another storage vault. The mountain vaults can resist all conventional bombs. To some extent it is important to know the origin of our institution to understand the development of the collections and associated activities. In addition to its state-of-the art storage facilities, much focus has been made on building a good technical infrastructure. We have a fully- equipped conservation laboratory and a recording studio that can handle most analogue and digital formats. Our digital mass storage system became fully operational in 2001, serving both legal deposit documents and historical material. On the subject of finance, though, I have to add that due to our budget we have barely spent any money on buying records or CDs. Since NB Rana is not open to the general public, our services can only be accessed online or by contacting the staff by phone or in other ways.

  • 25 Jahre Jazzland Recordings 2021
    25 Jahre Jazzland Recordings 2021 Jazzland Recordings feiert sein 25jähriges Bestehen als Heimat einiger der aufregendsten Musiker der norwegischen Jazz- und Impro-Szene. Was 1996 mit der Verbindung von elektronischer Club-Musik und akustischem Jazz begann, galt vielen bald als Geburtsstunde einer neuen Ära des Europäischen Jazz. Ursprünglich nur als Veröffentlichungsplattform für Bugge Wesseltofts New Conception of Jazz vorgesehen, konnte das Label bald ein äußerst vielfältiges Repertoire vorweisen, dank international gefeierter Künstler wie Sidsel Endresen , Eivind Aarset , Håkon Kornstad (Solo) , Maria Kannegaard Trio oder Harald Lassen , Juno , Siril Malmedal & Kirsti Huke . Mehr als 200 Alben hat Jazzland veröffentlicht, darunter Klassiker wie "New Conception of Jazz" (Bugge Wesseltoft), "Électronique Noire" (Eivind Aarset), "Out Here. In There" (Bugge Wesseltoft & Sidsel Endresen), "Duo" (Henrik Schwarz & Bugge Wesseltoft). Genreschubladen hat man hier noch nie gekannt. War noch Mitte der 90er Jahre die Bezeichnung "Nu Jazz" in aller Munde, wurden in den folgenden Jahren die Grenzen von Pop und Jazz neu ausgelotet. Jazzland war immer auch eine Plattform für jegliche Art von Experimenten; Künstler vom Format eines Bansal Trios oder eines Håkon Kornstad konnten sich hier an ganz neuen musikalischen Formen ausprobieren. 2018 beschlossen der Pianist Bugge Wesseltoft und die ehemaligen Mietglieder des schwedischen Trios e.s.t. , Schlagzeuger Magnus Öström und Bassist Dan Berglund , dass sie das Trio Rymden gründen werden. Ein Jahr später veröffentlichten sie ihr international gefeiertes Debüt-Album „Reflections & Odysseys“ und im September 2020 erschien ihr Zweitwerk „Space Sailors“ , auf denen sie sich lustvoll experimentierfreudig zwischen Rock und Jazz zeigen. Aufgrund der Pandemie konnten sie es live nur kurz vorstellen. Nun werden einige ihrer Konzerte im Sommer 2021 nachgeholt.

  • Norway's Jazz Identity by © 2019 Ashley Hirt MA
    Mountain Sound: Norway’s Jazz Identity By © 2019 Ashley Hirt M.A., University of Idaho, 2011 B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology. __________________________ Chair: Dr. Roberta Freund Schwartz __________________________ Dr. Bryan Haaheim __________________________ Dr. Paul Laird __________________________ Dr. Sherrie Tucker __________________________ Dr. Ketty Wong-Cruz The dissertation committee for Ashley Hirt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: _____________________________ Chair: Date approved: ii Abstract Jazz musicians in Norway have cultivated a distinctive sound, driven by timbral markers and visual album aesthetics that are associated with the cold mountain valleys and fjords of their home country. This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization.
