Album Notes & Community Reviews

Norwegian double bassist Arild Andersen leads a formidable Scandinavian quartet on 'Shimri', a masterful exploration of atmospheric chamber jazz. The interplay relies on profound spaciousness and delicate, melodic improvisations, perfectly captured by Manfred Eicher's pristine production. The recording heavily defines the lyrical, introspective aesthetic that became synonymous with European acoustic jazz.
