HANS FJELLESTAD - KOBE LIVE HOUSE (ACCRETIONS) |
| |
Fjellestad's startling experimental on "Kobe Live
House" - recorded at a jazz club in Japan - is sharp
and refreshing. The musical style ranges from fairly
accessible piano lines to staggering, dagger assaults
of synthwork. The blend of organic and electronic and
mildly experimental and wildly avante gard makes for a
bracing listen. The compositions range from dark,
acidy piano jazz lines to violent expressions of fear
and adrenaline, the clashing of musical elements in
moments of force that would be nothing short of
alarming to those not initiated into the wonderful,
weird world of experimental music. Some jazz purists
might balk at calling this jazz, but they would be
wrong. It's not just jazz, mind you, but it's just as
forward thinking and expressive compared to its
surroundings as early jazz and its world was in its
day. Fresh and truly the bearer of a jazz heart -
avante acid jazz perhaps, but jazz nonetheless - "Kobe
Live House" is strongly urged as a listen for fans of
intelligent music. -- www.myspace.com/hansfjellestad ---- review by Kristofer Upjohn
