johnagrandy Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=20807 Now this is a trip (not just because I'm Norwegian) but because I used to own everything but totally lost track of Terje about 10 years ago. Any Terje fans out there ? Quote
7/4 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) I always dug the trio with DeJohnette and Vitous, and the groups with Mikkelborg. The Chasers with fretless bass. Yum. Edited March 13, 2006 by 7/4 Quote
cannonball-addict Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 The new album is really beautiful listen for it nights on WRCT. Matt Quote
randyhersom Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Long time Terje fan here. Whenever I Seem To Be Far Away is my favorite. Quote
Guest akanalog Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 i really like a lot of his less high note-ey sustain-ey impressionistic ECM albums from the late 60s and the 70s. some great sideman appearances too, with guys like garbarek and surman and barre phillips. a lot of the live material i have heard from the 70s is more aggressive than the ECM albums and is good stuff too. but albums like "odyssey" and "what comes after" are sweet. i like "waves" a bit also. but albums like "after the rain" and "descendre" and the dejohnette/vituous albums can get a bit too diffuse for me though "descendre" has some nice stuff on it. i am trying to get into "whenever i seem to be far away" and it's not totally happening for me yet, though rypdal's tone blends excellently with classical orchestral instrumentation. i wish ECM would re-release "odyssey" as a two-discer. i can't believe they pulled that garbage.
