Contemporary jazz, often soft and comforting, from a Norweigan bassist. Many tracks have a slow, quiet start and build to something bigger and louder, so the first few seconds are often deceptive.
A few NYC guest stars here and there -- Craig Taborn, Gerald Cleaver, Tony Malaby
1*- Mid/fast, off-kilter funk. Includes a slowish, free passage
2- Slow/mid, cheesy cocktail jazz feel
3*- Cool midtempo bass riff, some wacky piano and organ soloing. Second half fast.
4- Fast shuffle, cutesly electric-piano theme
5- Quiet, w/lots of organ; gets big and dramatic
6- Quiet bass solo
7*- Midtempo, a bit funky
8- Gospel, slow and melodic
9- Small avant-garde splashes
10- Slow, mournful
11- Midtempo, loud and stormy
12- Soft, warm; very "ECM" sound. Gets louder.
