Description:

This is the first new album by trumpeter Mathias Eick in three years, since the release of "Midwest" in 2015. Eick, who discovered new joys with the violin on his last album, has developed into a deeper combination on this new album, which features new violinist Hakon Aase, who has been a big hit on the Norwegian scene in recent years. He is familiar to ECM fans as he has played in Tomas Streinen's band and others. Helge Andreas Norbakken, who also participated in the previous album, joins Torstein Lofthus again. All original compositions by Eick, the rhythms are driving and the melodies dance on top. All songs are finished like a family portrait.(パーソネル)Mathias Eick (tp, voice) Hakon Aase (vln) Andreas Ulvo (p) Audun Erlien (el-b) Torstein Lofthus (ds) Helge Andreas Norbakken (ds & perc) Recorded June 8-10, 2017 at Rainbow Studio, Oslo
