  • Description

    'Elegy of Skies' is the fourth album by Norwegian jazz drummer Sverre Gjørvad continuing his reflections on high north of Norway, with the album being recorded in Tromsø, close to the Arctic Circle.

    Compared to the 2019 album "Voi River", the music is more open, letting the band go wider in exploring the musical terrain of the compositions. Besides the original music, the album also include Paddy McAloons "Mercy", first released on Prefab Sprouts' album 'Jordan, The Comeback'.

    Personnel: Sverre Gjørvad (drums, voice), Herborg Rundberg (piano, pump organ, drum), Dag Okstad (bass, drum), Kristian Svalestad Olstad (guitars, drum), Joakim Milder (tenor saxophone on track 8)
