Frøy Aagre: Cycle Of Silence (CD: ACT)
Frøy Aagre’s “Nordic Jazz” tells of an expectant calm, sharpened perception and distances which give space to breathe. Her Cycle of Silence sounds calm and dream-like. Her warm saxophone sound and seductive lyricism captivate the listener and fuse naturally with the other members of her wonderful rhythmic group. The composed and the improvised join to form a harmonious whole. Modern jazz elements are skilfully intertwined with classical music and special guests, including trombonist Øyvind Brække, also add their special touches.For Cycle of Silence, Frøy Aagre focuses fully on the soprano saxophone; a form of self limitation which fully brings to bear the captivating naturalness of her incredibly mature music.

The 32-year-old saxophonist from Tønsberg in Norway is one of the rising stars from the land of the Northern Lights. Cycle of Silence is her third album and her ACT debut.

Arve Henriksen: Cartography (CD: ECM)Arve Henriksen: Cartography (CD: ECM)
A shifting cast of characters, with live sampling man and album co-producer Jan Bang at the centre, provides a series of soundscapes, an ambient-experimental map of moods, for the uniquely liquid, singing trumpet lines of Arve Henriksen to scale and explore. Some tracks are recorded live in concert, others are studio creations. Singer David Sylvian reads his own poetry on two cuts. (ECM Records)

Mathias Eick: The Door (CD: ECM)
First leader date for prizewinning Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick who has already contributed significantly to ECM discs by Manu Katché, Jacob Young and Iro Haarla, and co-directed the popular jazz-ambient-rock group Jaga Jazzist. Here his melodically intense trumpet sings over fractured rhythms and grooves. Jon Balke’s performance on acoustic and electric pianos is a marvel of supportive invention, Audun Kleive hammers home the beats, and Stian Carstensen from Farmer’s Market guests on pedal steel guitar. The resourceful Eick plays vibes and guitar as well, but it is his trumpet that is the subject of this attractive set, moving through a programme of many colours. (ECM Records)

Ketil Bjørnstad & Terje Rypdal: Life In Leipzig (CD: ECM)Ketil Bjørnstad & Terje Rypdal: Life In Leipzig (CD: ECM)
Norwegians Ketil Bjørnstad and Terje Rypdal - a rare and possibly unique duo combination of electric guitar and acoustic piano - in an exciting live album recorded before an enthusiastic audience in Leipzig’s Opera House. This strongly melodic, often rocking CD marks the return to ECM after a decade for cultural polymath Bjørnstad. (New Note) 


Price:  £13.99 


Ketil Bjørnstad: The Light (CD: ECM)
Subtitled “Songs of Love and Fear”, “The Light” brings together Ketil Bjørnstad’s “Four Nordic Songs”, compositions for female voice and accompaniment written over a 30 year period, with a song cycle based on poetry of John Donne (1572-1631). Bjørnstad: “The intellectual energy in Donne’s poetry, which was always receptive to the metaphysical, is also nurtured by emotional excitement, and it is this unique combination that has held such powerful appeal to me as a composer.” (ECM Records)

Ketil Bjørnstad, Tore Brunborg & Jon Christensen: Remembrance (CD: ECM)Ketil Bjørnstad, Tore Brunborg & Jon Christensen: Remembrance (CD: ECM)
Ketil Bjørnstad and Jon Christensen have been musical associates for almost 40 years. Christensen played on Bjørnstad’s very first recordings in the early 1970s, and when Ketil came to ECM for “Water Stories” in 1993 the drummer was once again on board, staying to become a charter member of the pianist’s Sea Quartet through the 1990s. This long alliance gives plenty of ‘remembrances’ to draw upon, and Bjørnstad’s compositions provide contexts and climates in which memories can be newly experienced. The project is also forward-looking: the old friends are joined by saxophonist Tore Brunborg, in his third ECM showing this season (following sessions with Tord Gustavsen and Manu Katché) for some joyful playing. Ketil’s chord patterns provide a centre from which Tore and Jon can launch their explorations... (ECM Records)

Rigmor Gustafsson: Close To You (CD: ACT)
One of Sweden's most celebrated singers, Rigmor Gustafsson has built up a considerable reputation in her home country and elsewhere in Europe for sensitive renditions of jazz standards as well as originals. On this, her latest release for the ACT label, she is teamed up with innovative Blue Note artist Jacky Terrasson for a set of songs which were made famous by the great Dionne Warwick. Her readings of these famous songs stand out from the pack for both their simplicity and directness, going straight to the heart of the emotions behind them. The backing from Terrasson's trio is equally refined, moving from restrained ballad playing to explosive swing, even moving over to Fender Rhodes electric piano for a few tracks. (Proper Music)

Bobo Stenson Trio: Cantando (CD: ECM)
The reconfigured Bobo Stenson Trio in a performance of characteristically wide arc. Material this time includes original compositions, group improvising and pieces by Peter Eben, Alban Berg, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, and Silvio Rodriguez. Master pianist Stenson, long term bassist Anders Jormin and alertly responsive young drummer Jon Fält have developed a richly detailed sound-world like nothing else in modern jazz – at once an extension of the jazz piano tradition and, with its windows opening onto classical music and world folklore, a force apart from it.

Tord Gustavsen Trio: Changing Places (CD: ECM)Tord Gustavsen Trio: Changing Places (CD: ECM)
Introducing a new piano trio from Norway. Tord Gustavsen’s young group, already making waves in the Far North – where “Changing Places” has soared into the pop charts – is telling new stories within the framework of the jazz tradition. This is music that sings, at once gentle and robust. The songs Gustavsen writes sound like standards-in-the-making: lyrical, immediately memorable songs, songs of an appealing freshness, yet sophisticated in their involvement with the melodic line. And the trio improvises, with flair and originality, inside their structures. (ECM Records) 


Price:  £13.99 


Tord Gustavsen Trio: The Ground (CD: ECM)
The Ground is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Changing Places, the most successful ECM debut of the last decade, an award-winning album that captured the imagination of the world’s jazz critics and secured a huge international following for the Tord Gustavsen Trio. Their new record is more earthy and its blues influence nearer the surface but the sound is mellow, caressing, sensual, and the melodies are again strong and simple, once heard remaining in the mind.
