Synopsis

Album Details

The Second Rainbow Studio in Oslo, Norway, is the Creation of Jan Erik Kongshaug, a Sound-engineer with a Remarkable Knowledge and Reputation Known all Over the World. Important Musical History was Written Already in 1970, When the Producer Manfred Eicher was Recommended to Record Afric Pepperbird with Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen in the Small, but Very Nice, Arne Bendiksen Studio. The Reason for his Choice was that Firstly, Jan Erik Kongshaug a Distinguished Musician Himself (Guitar, Bass), but Most of all a Very Talented Engineer, was Able to Respond to Manfred Eicher's Aesthetic Approach - the Start of the Ecm-sound that Many Producers have Tried to Copy Over the Years, Without Success. The Three Sessions were Recorded Live, Without Any Corrections Or Editing.

CD Reviews

Outstanding

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ketil Bjornstad is one of these unique composers whose bring inspiration to listeners with every new record they release. For me "Rainbow Sessions" is like that first swallow of wine, after you just crossed the desert. These compositions take you into the intimate travel to the world of reverie, where you'll discover sensitivity of your soul. It's impossible not to have this album."
