AA på blå resept Alle som sliter enten det er fysisk eller psykisk kan ha svært godt av en konsert med Arild Andersen. Tor Hammerø PUBLISERT 10.07.11 10:33 KONGSBERG (SIDE2):Det kommer egentlig ikke som noen overraskelse, men det er like hyggelig å slå det fast nok en gang: En konsert med kongerikets store bassist Arild Andersen er alltid en opplevelse som utstråler varme, strålende musikk og ofte konstellasjoner vi aldri har hørt før. Slik var det definitivt på avslutningsdagen av årets festival på Kongsberg...

Killing Pain, Not Time: Arild Andersen Trio Live Report I find it difficult to begin any review about Arild Andersen without billing him simply as a “Norwegian bassist.” Succinct though the term may be, it hardly hints at the far reach of his fingertips, bow, and musical vision. A packed house felt some of that reach in the distance he’d so graciously traveled to bring his latest outfit to this year’s Rochester Jazz Fest as part of its “Nordic Jazz Now” series. While the cover of the Fest’s concert guide sported a collage of big...

I saw this reflected in many album covers, which could be bright (Milt Jackson’s Sunflower comes to mind) or deeply nocturnal (which pegs a good portion of the Blue Note catalogue). ECM has been unique in charting the in-between, those...

Andersen is a bold soloist with a big tone and an even bigger vision. He indulges in a wide range of expression in this adventurous outing that organically incorporates free jazz, Scandinavian folkoric music, ambient soundscapes, chamber music, frantic freebop, live electronics and even a touch of Ellingtonia. JazzTimes Live at Belleville Arild Andersen — By Bill Milkowski More than forty years ago, Norwegian bassist, Arild Andersen joined saxophonist Jan Garbarek and the late Finnish drummer Edward Vesala to record the...

En allerede brennhet Kongsberg kino nådde kokepunktet da Arild Andersen leverte Kongsberg- festivalens høydepunkt. Sammen med den skotske tenorsaksofonisten Tommy Smith og vår egen – etter å ha bodd her i mange tiår, har vi lov å si det – Paolo Vinaccia på trommer, utstråler Andersen en spilleglede og livsbejaenhet som alle har noe å lære av. Den danske mesterpianist Carsten Dahl, som Andersen har samarbeida mye med tidligere i en annen trio, passet perfekt inn i settingen og ga bandet nok en dimensjon. Arild Andersen trio...
