Chiaroscuro

by Arve Henriksen

Chiaroscuro cover art

The Norwegian trumpeter utilizes Jan Bang's subtle live electronics to construct an incredibly fragile and delicate ambient jazz recording. Henriksen's signature breathy, shakuhachi-like trumpet tone floats weightlessly alongside minimalist percussion and ethereal vocalizations, crafting a profound, meditative exploration of sonic light and shadow.
