Reviews From Lapland to Spain
Trumpeter Hidegunn Øiseth is a musician who comes up in various contexts, but we have added too much attention to her. Her previous album, "Stillness" got relatively good reviews here in columns earlier this year, and it was with some hopeful a bola we sat on her new langspiller. This time she has gone international in its choice a bola of fellow musicians. From France, she brought pianist Tommy Kotter, (which to my knowledge is based in Sweden), while both bassist Peter Janson and drummer Anders Kjellberg is experienced names in the Göteborgska jazz. The "Valencia" makes the quartet two songs by Frode Fjellheim, two of Kotter, one of Kjellberg and two of Øiseth, and the whole thing is utterly beautiful implemented. Øiseth has a lovely tone horn, she occasionally using a lot of air, but not as pronounced as one might call her a copy of Henriksen / Molvær. She simply has a pleasing tone horn, perfect for compositions on the disc. The trio that support Øiseth has an extensive lyrical vein, and in particular we note Kotter fine and listening games, both in ensemble and solos. Bassist Janson delivers some beautiful solos and dense and fine, yet very open ensemble playing, while Kjellberg is steady heat even in the background. This is simply become a gorgeous plate! Something sounds almost Sami out, especially the first song "Sacred" and the final track, "Night Yoik" both penned by Frode Fjellheim. Other stuff sounds like it is hatched in Spain, and it is perhaps also why the name "Valencia" is selected. Inexpressibly beautiful from start to finish, from an artist we will hear much more!
