Mathias Eick: When We Leave

Read "When We Leave" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


Per il suo quinto album da titolare per la ECM, il trombettista norvegese Mathias Eick riparte da Ravensburg, il precedente lavoro pubblicato nel 2018, mantenendo quelle atmosfere rendendole un po' più sognanti e malinconiche, e confermando in toto i musicisti che vi avevano preso parte.

Those fortunate people who have listened to Norwegian piano trio Eple Trio would not be surprised by this beautiful debut from pianist Andreas Ulvo. Just as his Eple Trio blurred the artificial distinctions within specific genres, his Ulvo Ensemble follows suit and combines elements from jazz, classical and traditional music in an impressive, organic manner.
