Martin Nodeland sekstett

Martin Nodeland is a Norwegian guitarist, composer and arranger whose first recording as leader, Debut (2019), was a confident and intricate neo-bop quintet playing mainly originals and a couple of standards – a lovely album that to my ears sounded like how Bobby Watson and John Abercrombie might have sounded playing together with a piano trio. Only a year later and with Origins (2020) he’s released an ambitious album of originals performed by an eleven-piece ensemble: two guitarists, trumpet, saxophone, piano, bass, drums and string quartet. In short, Origins is a beautiful album, and Martin Nodeland, born in 1993, is a performer to watch.” – Julian Maynard-Smith (LondonJazzNews)

For anledningen spiller Nodeland med en ung og skarpladet sekstett, bestående av medlemmer fra begge overnevnte utgivelser. Det kommer til å bli servert musikk fra både “Debut” og “Origins”, og attpåtil noe helt rykende ferskt materialet, ennå ikke utgitt.
