  • Description

    The second album from the Norwegian jazz group Mopti, and this time the group are taking things to a whole new level, as they are joined by turntablist and laptop musician Bendik Baksaas.

    Baksaas demonstrated through remixes of Mopti's album 'Logic' that a collaboration might just be a great idea, then in the summer of 2014, Mopti & Bendik Baksaas became a living reality at the Molde Jazz Festival. With Baksaas fully integrated into the band, they continued to explore the limitless possibilities the new combo had to offer, gradually mapping out a whole new sound-world of their own.



    With 'Bits & Pieces' the band challenged themselves to successfully combine contemporary jazz and experimental hip hop and they achieved this with aplomb. They create an album that explores groove, mayhem, freedom, funk, soul, jazz and the avant-garde. There are moments of fanciful whimsy here, but also moments that feel downright dangerous.



    Personnel: Harald Lassen (saxophones, vocals), Kristoffer Eikrem (trumpet), David Aleksander Sjølie (guitar, vocals), Christian Meaas Svendsen (bass)Andreas Wildhagen (drums), Bendik Baksaas (turntables, laptop)
