about

Seven days after recording Quiddity (LT019) with Frode in London, Louis and I flew to Norway to play at Cafe Sting in Stavanger. A cheap flight took us to Haugesund. Declining the two hour bus journey to Stavanger we decided to take the boat. In severe weather conditions and with no vacant seats Louis and I stood at the back of the saloon gripping the seats in front of us, knees bent, riding the waves, through the Bonkafjorden - Nick Stephens

“Coming On The Boknafjorden” the 34-minute group improvisation features enough liquid expended by the reedist and enough stressed sound waves from the rhythm instruments to approximate the journey (on the Nowegian fjord) Throughout Pederson concentrates on sloshing and shuddering asides, usually expressed in quadruple counterpoint with the other players’ playing. Juddering squeezes from the accordion’s bellows and keys are highlighted alongside sluicing, altissimo clarinet vibrations, plunks and sul ponticello runs from the bassist and the drummer’s drags, rebounds and ruffs. Stephens’ sequence of strums, then staccato bow action re-orients the suite, with Pederson’s thrusts and sputters accompanying reed chirps to downshift the tempo to moderato; and an outpouring of cascading chords aids Moholo-Moholo in keeping the overall irregular vibrations glued to chromatic motions.
Ken Waxman - Jazz Word
