Review

Imagine the sound of saxophonist Wayne Shorter if he'd worked on a north-Euro ECM Records project, perhaps with the label's legendarily restrained house-drummer Jon Christensen – an atmospherically hollow-toned, patiently accumulating sax narrative with a hypnotic percussion undertow, occasionally intensifying into ruggedly wayward runs. Then add one of Europe's most sensitive and resourceful pianists, and you have something like this remarkable trio – which belies almost all its accomplishments with its rustic name and baffled album title, but has produced one of 2011's likely jazz triumphs of the year with this venture. Meadow is Norwegian saxophonist Tore Brunborg (one of the most creative disciples of Jan Garbarek), with compatriot Thomas Strønen (Iain Ballamy's partner on the long-running Food project) on drums, and UK pianist John Taylor. It's a constantly gripping conversation, from the title track's deep tenor melody – full of early Garbarek's evocative tonal range, but also a propulsive jazziness – over rocking Jarrettish piano, through the wistful Kirstis Tarer with its ringing finger-cymbal sounds and delicate piano elisions, the romantic movie-theme immediacy of Tunn Is, or the minimalism of Reven, with its oscillating pairs of notes filled out by percussion whispers. UK outfit Edition has caught something worthy of the ECM label's greatest moments. ~ Guardian

Позволил себе тэг Norway, хотя в составе есть англичанин, но зато двое других норги, и что важнее, диск Блаженное неведение записывался в Осло, в Rainbow Studios (звукорежиссёр - легендарный Ян-Эрик Конгсхауг), что во многом объясняет и второй тэг.
