  • Description

    This landmark recording by the Norwegian jazz vocalist Karin Krog was recorded in 1974 when the American pianist Steve Kuhn was living in Scandinavia. Krog moves far beyond the standard jazz of her roots, into territory that's spacey, cosmic, and filled with the best influences bubbling underground in the Euro scene of the 1970s.

    The energetic and creative rhythm section includes Steve Swallow on bass and Jon Christensen on drums and the album sounds as contemporary today as it did in the mid-seventies. The programme includes vocal versions of originals by Kuhn, a cover of Joni Mitchell's "All I Want", a rare Jon Hendricks' lyrical version of JJ Johnson's "Lament" plus the title tune, "We Could Be Flying", by Michel Colombier.



    Recorded: July 1974, Rosenborg Studios, Norway



    Personnel: Karin Krog (vocals), Steve Kuhn (keyboards), Steve Swallow (electric bass), Jon Christensen (drums, percussion)
