Search - Hilmar Jensson :: Ditty Blei (Hybr)

"Jensson holds tight rein on his bandmates, always keeping things within melodic bounds?such contrasts [make] this album so compelling and interesting musically." - SOUNDSTAGE.COM This quintet date by Icelandic guitarist Jensson (a mainstay of Jim Black?s AlasNoAxis) was rather overlooked on its initial release in 2004. A great band (Black, Herb Robertson, Andrew D?Angelo and Trevor Dunn) interprets his quirky, sometimes lyrical compositions with avant-jazz/rock fire. Called "a joy throughout" and "a superb release and a boon for fans" by One Final Note, this release received 4 ½ stars from All Music Guide.
