With a concoction of Congolese scents, a sparkle of Reggae and soft jazzy vibes, the cosmopolitan singer songwriter is so versatile that no existing genre can fully describe this musical experience.

Jazz  Allgemein17.98 EUROOddgeir Berg TrioChristmas Came EarlyThis may not be the weirdest Christmas album ever recorded – but it most certainly ranks among the most radical ones. You'll find renditions of popular favourites like “Silent Night”, and ”In Dulce Jubilo”here. But the Oddgeir Berg Trio are performing them with such passionate reticence that they at times sound like bands like Bohren & Der Club of Gore – Christmas does seem to be a bit darker in Norway. ... more

Its spare production foregrounds Parr’s poetic lyricism, his expressive, gritty voice ringing clear over deft acoustic guitar playing that references folk and blues motifs in Parr’s own exploratory, idiosyncratic style. ... more

Here Olivier Julien has brought ... more

Take on the Giants has accordingly turned into an epic cycle filled to the brim with ... more

Songlines schreibt zu dem Album: „Trotz dem ausgestellten Eklektizismus behält das Album durch Muallems exzellentes Gespür für Melodien und die makellose Auswahl der Mitmusiker einen durchgehend starken Zusammenhalt. Obwohl es in schwierigen und traumatischen Zeiten aufgenommen wurde, ist "Norwegian Oud" ein meisterhafter Querschnitt modaler Musik, der sowohl bittersüße Melancholie als auch freudigen Optimismus verbindet.“ ...moreLatest release
