“House On A Hill” is veteran Norwegian jazz bassist and composer Terje Gewelt’s twelfth album. It features the same line-up as his critically acclaimed 2017 release “Wow And Flutter”, with Bjørn Klakegg on guitar, Erlend Slettevoll on piano and keyboards and Terje Evensen on drums and electronics. Gewelt, now sixty, has been performing and recording for over forty years with artists ranging from Billy Cobham and John Surman to Jon Christensen and Blossom Dearie.
Gewelt has his own personal approach to jazz, developed over a lifetime of listening and playing, and on this new album he continues to follow his muse. After many years of touring—including a memorable gig in Buzios, which inspired the opening cut—this past year has been spent mostly at home, as it has for many here on Earth, hence the title track “House On A Hill”.
The third album of Arianna Savall, Petter Udland Johansen & Hirundo Maris on Carpe Diem Records is a musical journey along coasts and oceans, an ode to seafarers and travellers from ancient and modern times, to their lifes, hopes and dreams. The windrose points into all cardinal points, encompassing all different cultures and places on earth in its movement. At the same time, it can be a symbol for the inner travels of the human soul which may aim into all different directions and places throughout life. In this sense, the songs on this album connect inner and outer journeying through music and poetry, just as countries and people are connected through oceans, currents and winds.
