Magical, dreamy Norwegian folk jazz inspired by contemporary Norwegian poetry. For her 11th solo album, Norwegian folk singer and kantele player Sinikka Langeland chose lyrics by contemporary poet and novella writer Jon Fosse. Both share a fascination with spirituality based on nature mysticism. She surrounds herself with a fantastic group of Norwegian jazz musicians: saxophonist Trygve Seim,
… trumpeter Mathias Eick, double bassist Mats Eilertsen and drummer Thomas Strønen. Together they create a beautiful sound fabric of flowing lines in vocals and horns, contrasting with sparkling strumming on kantele and double bass and subtle percussion. The tempo remains thoughtfully calm, making the intuitive and emotional music all the more beautiful. (SvdP)more
