Co-produced by Krall, with GRAMMY award winning, Tommy LiPuma, the
album features the talents of renowned arranger and bassist John
Clayton (Count Basie, Duke Ellington), Anthony Wilson (Chris Botti,
Michael Buble), drummer Jeff Hamilton (Rosemary Clooney, Natalie
Cole) and bassist Bob Hurst (The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
Saturday Night Live). The Clayton/Hamilton Orchestra accompanies
Krall for seasonal standards, "Let It Snow," "I'll Be Home For
Christmas," "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and "Jingle Bells."
First release from a new trio of Norwegian jazz veterans,
'Remembrance' features Ketil Bjrnstad and Jon Christensen, musical
associates for almost 40 years, alongside saxophonist Tore Brunborg
for some joyful playing. Strongly melodic in both extroverted and
introverted modes, the music is by turns reflective and outgoing -
and likely to connect with a large audience.
Ketil Bjrnstad and Jon Christensen have been friends since the
great drummer played on Bjrnstad's very first recordings in the
early 1970s. And when Ketil came to ECM for 'Water Stories' in 1993
Christensen was once again on board, staying to become a charter
member of the pianist's Sea Quartet through the 1990s. This long
alliance gives plenty of 'remembrances' to draw upon, and
Bjrnstad's exquisite compositions provide contexts in which
memories can be newly experienced. The project is also
forward-looking: at the instigation of producer Manfred Eicher,
they are joined by saxophonist Tore Brunborg, in his third ECM
showing this season (following sessions with Tord Gustavsen and
Manu Katch) and currently at a creative peak. Ketil's chord
patterns provide a centre from which Tore and Jon launch their
explorations.
Ketil Bjrnstad described as "a cultural prodigy" by The
Guardian's John Fordham, started out as a classical pianist, making
his debut with the Oslo Philharmonic, playing Bartk. Encounters
with jazz of the late 1960s, especially Miles and Coltrane, changed
his priorities and he switched to playing with the jazz men.
Simultaneously he has maintained a career as a respected writer
with many books to his credit - novels, poems, essays and more.
2010 is a set to be a big year for Bjrnstad: another disc - a duo
with cellist Svante Henrykson - is scheduled for release this
autumn.
One of the most influential drummers in modern jazz history,
Jon Christensen helped to define music on ECM in the early years,
in the bands of Jan Garbarek, Bobo Stenson, Keith Jarrett, Eberhard
Weber, Terje Rypdal, and Ralph Towner.
