Krokofant - 6 (2025)

 

The sixth album from this band from Norway.

The band was a trio here with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, synths and saxophones.

The band returns as a trio on this forty-five minutes long album after having expanded, with two guests, to a quintet on the previous two albums.

The band has become one of the best jazz acts in Norway and this album continues down that path. 

The music is hard and fast jazz too with a lot of solos. Both sax and guitar solos. Tom Hasslan delivers some smoking hot solos here and he is the star on this album. 

There are some melodic pieces here too but they are in the minority. Most of this album has eclectic jazz. 

The music is good though and the three musicians does a great job on some good pieces of music. Sadly, their drummer Axel Skalstad passed on after this album was recorded. R.I.P.
