Norway is an unlikely but extraordinary breeding ground for jazz musicians,

as demonstrated by the outstanding rhythm section formed by Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Paal Nilssen-Love. Well-versed in free improvisation, they couldn’t have found a better companion than American saxophonist David Murray, whose roots in both the avant-garde and the traditional lend a highly personal touch to his playing, which is devoid of any gratuitous virtuosity.
