Johan Lindvall Trio - New Single - Last Time/There Will Never Be Another you
Recorded live at Oslo's Nasjonal Jazzscene in November 2022, Johan Lindvall Trio's "Last Time/There Will Never Be Another You" begins with off-kilter, late-night jazz balladry, skating across dissonance with such confidence that it becomes a wonderfully hypercomplex harmony. But there's much more to come, as the trio suddenly erupts into a glorious, beat-driven racket, pushing towards free jazz with an almost gleeful abandon. It's coherently scattershot, if such a thing were possible, with an exhilarating drum solo at its heart and Lindvall's piano revelling in its own whimsy, its capacity for tenderness, for souring that tenderness, elevating it, and generally playing the hell out of it. Moving through a succession of shifting moods and miniature movements, the three musicians seem to know exactly what the memo says, embracing their collective chaotic engine with flair, gusto and panache, and riding the whole magnificent contraption all the way to its breakdown.
Schemes Quartet - New Single - You Can't Take That Away From Me
"You Can’t Take This Away From Me” is the first taste of "Everlasting", the second album from the Danish-Norwegian jazz quartet Schemes. Written by pianist Oliver Skou-Due, the track explores a powerful sense of ownership over music and the extraordinary force of creativity—its ability to empower every individual.
The song builds towards an intense climax, conveying resilience through powerful solo performances and collective interplay. The music radiates a triumphant sense of strength and energy.
Tuva Halse & Arne Torvik - New Single - Sleeping Music
Tuva Halse and Arne Torvik return with Sleeping Music, the final single and title track of their upcoming duo album, to be released in February 2027. Rather than being music for sleep, the piece takes its name from an image of nature in winter, when life withdraws beneath the surface and enters a period of rest before returning in spring. Full of forward motion, the music carries a sense of youthful optimism and naivety, with a subtle melancholy.
Sleeping Music explores the space between dormancy and renewal, where winter holds nature in a state of pause while life continues beneath the surface. Rooted in Nordic jazz and folk music, the piece unfolds with a narrative character, shaped by a choral, hymn-like sensibility. Open and lyrical, it moves between warmth and melancholy, stillness and forward motion.
