What does it mean ?
These are the names of a couple of Norwegian musicians who I saw at a concert recently. Trygve plays saxophone, an obvious disciple of the great Jan Gabarek, and Frode has a symbiotic relationship with a huge black caterpillar of an accordion out of which he produces the most amazing noises, most of them music.
Beautiful evocative sounds — mostly free jazz — which means that a conventional “tune” is a rarity, except briefly — but it’s that soaring sax which takes one up into the blue, underpinned by sensitive backing on the accordion. Apparently they are recording a CD for ECM later this year — I expect to have it in my Christmas stocking.
