Description
Renowned as an innovator who has blended jazz with electronics and world music influences, the Norwegian pianist/keyboard player Bugge Wesseltoft, returns to his jazz roots with a solo album of classic jazz standards performed exclusively on the piano.
Bugge Wesseltoft is never still, always moving. His music, since the release of 'New Conceptions of Jazz' 15 years ago, has continuously crossed musical frontiers, and always questioned the need for these frontiers to exist at all. Yet what remains certain is the fact that Bugge is a Jazz man - through and through.
Now, on 'Songs', he takes a fresh look at the music that made him what he is, the songs and compositions that have informed this jazz sensibility throughout his career. No electronic sleight of hand or post-production: this is pure musicianship.
Bugge covers standards from the 1930s onwards such as "Darn That Dream", "My Foolish Heart", "How High the Moon" and "Giant Steps". His meditation on music that has inspired many before him is deeply contemplative, and is often evocative of the spirit of the originals, while venturing into spontaneous arrangements both unexpected and truly satisfying.
