Synopsis

Product Description

Wildly exciting new album from Norway's electric guitar master This large scale work was commissioned by the Natjazz Festival, and recorded live in Bergen. Crime Scene makes reference to John Coltrane, another formative influence, in the writing for large ensemble but also has sections of burning flat-out rock jamming.with some of Rypdal's hottest guitar work in years, certain to delight Terje's many followers. All the musicians have worked with Rypdal before, and they contribute passion, energy and Noir-ish flair to the music, with with hints of everything from Spaghetti westerns to inner city Mob movies...

CD Reviews

Big Band blast

Bodhi Heeren | Copenhagen | 06/22/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The illustrious Terje Rypdal belongs to very few creative minds who have carved their completely own musical niche. And a niche that's actually a whole musical universe, comprising everything from heavy trio-rock to neo-classical symphonies.

But first and foremost Terje is a brilliant guitarist with an uncanny ability to make his instrument sing. I guess only matched by Jeff Beck.

As one would expect this work for Big Band is more reminiscent of Carla Bley than Count Basie with strange chordal twists and a variety of soundscapes. Here greatly helped by longtime partner in crime Palle Mikkelborg, the inventive organ-grinder Ståle Storløkken and the wellplaying - this is a liverecording from May 2009 - Bergen Big Band.

I have to admit I'm not a big Big Band fan, so this might not be my alltime favorite Rypdal album, but as everything from his hands this is music you can hear again and again, all the time finding new musical surprises and joys."
