Drage. Andre - Wolves (2025)

 

The second album from this artist from Norway.

He got help from a quartet of musicians who added bass, guitars, violin, organ, synths and effects.

Andre Drage has been active in the jazz and rock scene for many years before he started his own record label Drage Records and released no less than two albums this year... so far. Maybe several more albums are under way... ? I hope so.

I reviewed his debut album Journeyman last month and gave it a good rating.

That album was pretty much a hardcore jazz album. A complex jazz album. Some months has passed and we get a bit of a change of direction here.

Wolves is a thirty-five minutes long fusion album. Mahavishnu Orchestra is a very good reference here. 

The music is very playful and catchy. There is a lot of good solos here and Andre is doing a very good jobs on the drums.

This is a very good album from Andre Drage and the fusion fans should check out this album. Maybe a new star has been born.... I hope so.

3.5 points
