The fifth album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, guitars and saxophone.
Two guests, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Ståle Storløkken, added their bass and keyboards. Hence the undertitle of this album.
This is the second album where the band cooperated with Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Ståle Storløkken. They also did this on their fourth album Q from 2019.
The addition of these two guests means a less raw and eclectic jazz than the band as a trio. The band is more, far more melodic with these two guests in their soundscape.
The music on this forty minutes long album is still eclectic jazz. The jazz is pretty raw and as always from this band.... not fort the faint hearted.
There are even some slow'ish mid-tempo and pastoral pieces here. That in contrast with the full on speed-jazz we normally get from this band.
The result is a very good album and another proof that this band is one of the better bands from Norway. Sadly, their drummer Axel Skalstad passed away some weeks ago.
3.5 points
