Kalle - Kalle
Emerging from the progressive jazzscene in Oslo comes this new hip jazz-group KALLE, led by saxophone player and composer Karl Hjalmar Nyberg. The music is a carcrash of jazz, indie rock and improvised music and consists of some of the most interesting musicians in Norway from projects like Megalodon Collective, Pom Poko, Broen & Mall Girl.
Karl Nyberg's band sound like they have come through an interdimensional portal from an alternative Earth where 70s fusion became the backbone of hip-hop, with stumbling drunken beats, agitated prog guitar, and a thoroughly inebriated grandeur that carries a weirdly infectious barrage of ear-worm riffs through to a relatively chilled coda. Prepare for pleasurable pandemonium!
