Tore Johansen featuring Steve Swallow http://www.innerear.no/2010/01/new-album-is-tore-johansen-featuring-steve-swallow/ http://www.innerear.no/2010/01/new-album-is-tore-johansen-featuring-steve-swallow/#comments Sat, 02 Jan 2010 14:49:50 +0000 admin http://www.innerear.no/?p=388 tj-4-51

A dream came through for Tore Johansen when the bass legend Steve Swallow arrived at Bodø Airport in the end of May 2009. Along with two of Sweden’s finest jazz musicians, pianist Lars Jansson and drummer Anders Kjellberg, they worked intensively for three days with the I.S. recording as result. The album documents a meeting of three generations of jazz musicians sharing the same melodical focus for compositions and improvisations as well. The album will be released on 8th February 2010 and is recorded at Store Studio, Bodø. (Photo: Helge Grønmo)

The composition follows a traditional mass structure with latin and english lyrics, completed by a couple of poems by Rupert Brooke (1887-1915). The writing of the mass was supported by Arts Council Norway and the premiere was on the 19th of December 2008, in front of a sold-out Cathedral of Bodø.

Inner Ear is proud to welcome Albatrosh to the “IE family”. Their debut album, “Seagull Island” was presented at Cafe Frölich, Oslo, 28th February 2009 and will find it´s way to the record stores the first week of March.

Albatrosh is an award-winning norwegian duo consisting of two young jazz musicians; André Roligheten (saxophones) & Eyolf Dale (piano). Both of the 23-year old musicians are jazz/impro students, accordingly at the jazz departments in Trondheim & Oslo.

Their music is based on their improvised expression, tied into their own compositions. Albatrosh is about the acoustic sound of the piano and saxophone, and with this they try to explore the possibilities of this lineup – working with expressions and sounds.
