Things never get too comfortable on ‘Shakin’ Our Souls’ by Norwegian jazz pianist Anders Aarum. It offers driven, classically schooled jazz, dreamy beatscapes propelled by pulsating grooves and - thrown in for good measure - there’s also the occasional excursion into atmospheric electronics.
As an in-demand session musician, he’s dabbled his feet in a wide range of styles. He’s played downtempo electro with soul chanteuse Beady Belle; free jazz with the iconic Sonny Simmons; as well as eccentric folk with Guro von Germeten. Whatever he touches instantly becomes personal. Even the instrumental backing tracks he recorded with his band for Randi Tytingvåg’s “Let Go” were so distinct that they were later released as a stand-alone album without the vocals.
