Archirana (2000)

Posted on jun 29, 2000 in Discography, Leader | 0 comments

Achirana» marks the debut of a new trio, formed by ECM bassist of the first hour Arild Andersen and featuring, alongside veteran drummer John Marshall, Greek pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos in his first recording for ECM. Likely to be hailed as a veritable ?discovery? in jazz circles, Tsabropoulos has long been recognised as an exceptionally gifted performer in other idioms. To quote Vladimir Ashkenazy, «Vassilis Tsabropoulos possesses rare talent». He has a reputation as a classical pianist, an interpreter of 19th and 20th century music, and as a conductor, and there is...

Andersen / Alnæs / Carstensen «Sommerbrisen»

Posted on jun 30, 1998 in Co-Leader, Discography | 0 comments

Kirkelig Kulturverksted/ARS FXCD198 Luftig, sommerlich, leicht. Eben eine »Sommerbrise«. Song-Titel wie »Det Går En Vind«, »Sommerflørt« oder »Visa Vid Midsommartid« sind also geradezu programmatisch für diese zeitlos-fröhliche CD, die leichtfüßig zwischen Volkstanz und Jazz tänzelt. Bei Arild Andersen schnurren die Bass-Seiten schmeichelnd, Frode Alnæs lässt sowohl federleichte Melodien aus seiner akustischen Gitarre tröpfeln als auch zerrende Soli kreischen, Akkordeonist Stian Carstensen addiert charmantes Pariser Chanson-Flair. Und Oslos Top-Toningenieur Jan-Erik Kongshaug sorgte nicht...

Hyperborean (1997)

Posted on jun 29, 1997 in Discography, Leader | 0 comments

In Greek mythology, the Hyperboreans were a race who inhabited the northern portion of the earth, beyond the great mountains whose caverns were thought to send forth the blasts of the north wind that chilled the people of Hellas. The Hyperboreans were especially favoured by the god of light, Apollo, whose mother Leto had been born amongst them. For three months of each year, it was said, Apollo would leave Delphi and join these northerners, travelling through the sky in a chariot drawn by swans. From the legend, Arild Andersen notes, it is clear enough that the ancient Greeks had an inkling...
