Gjerstad-Skaset-Tafjord-Molstad-Moe – “Deichman” – [Conrad Sound]

humana   10/28/2013   CD, Jazz

Out of Norway come these spare sounds, quiet squeaks and squawks of clarinet, rumblings of tuba, pluckings of double bass and guitar, and gentle ululations of French horn. Very silent spaces in 1 and 3, anticlimactic endings, purrings, sounds like fluttering of paper. Sound structures that in their emptiness are deceptive because there is really always something going on. Improvisational jazz at its most unassuming. Very KFJC.
