The Sea
by Ketil Bjørnstad, David Darling, Jon Christensen & Terje Rypdal
Assembled by the renowned ECM imprint, the trans-Atlantic jazz quartet delivered a deeply atmospheric, highly impressionistic twelve-part suite. The sprawling, largely improvised compositions are guided by the delicate interplay between Bjørnstad's piano and Darling's cello, heavily utilizing expansive, oceanic textures that completely bypass traditional post-bop structures. It represents a masterful, cinematic highlight of the modern European chamber jazz movement.
