Jan Gunnar Hoff launches his new jazz trio with Anders Jormin and Audun Kleive, two of Europe's most reknown and respected jazz performers. A powerful trio setting presenting strong melodic compositions and high class interplay. The album has been conceived as a cohesive experience where the compositions themselves, the moments of spontaneous inspiration during performance and the natural sound world of the church acoustic all affect the final result.

"Beginning with his expansive concerto for recorders and large orchestra, Territorial Songs (2008-09), Rasmussen sought to expand the instrument's persona and possibilities, freeing it from its historic associations with the music of the Renaissance and Baroque, pushing it into new territories. In this mission, the composer has been exceptionally fortunate to have as muse and musical partner one of the greatest recorder players ever, Michala Petri. The current project represents an overview of works composed from 2009 to 2020. All are scores featuring the recorder: as concerto soloist with a symphony orchestra, (Territorial Songs), a string ensemble (Winter Echoes), an obbligato in a complex choral setting ('I' ), chamber music (Flow), and unaccompanied (Sorrow and Joy Fantasy), each work a milestone in Rasmussen's musical development . As always, Michala Petri brings each score to life with consummate artistry and is perfectly matched by each of the ensembles performing with her.

MP3 320 kbps CBR | 118:29 min | 281 MB
Genre: Avant-Garde Jazz | Label: NotTwo Records

The new Resonance Ensemble album, "Head Above Water, Feet Out Of The Fire," was released to coincide with the group's residency in Krakow from the 18th to the 24th of November this year. I returned home last week with a number of the recordings, and all the donors who directly backed the release of this double cd should be receiving their copies in the next week (depending a bit on what part of the world they live in). As originally indicated, the album includes the live performance from Hasselt, Belgium recorded in March of 2012, plus the studio session that took place before then band's performance at the Chicago Jazz Festival in August last year.
