Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a massive, conceptually profound endeavor, 'Everything Is It' merges large-scale orchestral jazz with the aggressive rhythmic drive of electric fusion. The composer conducts the big band through complex, technical passages that frequently veer into hypnotic, avant-garde territory without sacrificing deep melodic sensibilities. It is widely considered a towering masterpiece of Scandinavian progressive jazz.
