About

If you are a fan of piano trios such as those fronted by Marcin Wasilewski,Tord Gustavsen, or Keith Jarrett, then this new album by the Norwegian trio led by Arne Torvik is an absolute essential purchase!

"Most of the music on this record was written during the spring of 2022, a period where Europe stood still for a moment, shocked by the reality that Ukraine had been invaded and was suddenly at war. During this time, I was teaching a young trumpet player named Roman in improvisation at Landslinje for jazz in Molde. Through our conversations, it became clear that he had family and relatives back in Ukraine, and this meant a constant feeling of chaos for him. All this while trying to live a normal life and attending school. This made an impact on me and inspired me to write the song 'For Roman'." Songs for Roman was inspired by talking to Roman about these topics in March 2022. Writing some of these compositions became my musical response. I hope they can be meaningful in some way." - Arne Torvik, Molde, July 2023

Arne Torvik-piano

Bjornar Kaldefoss Tveite - double bass

Oystein Aarnes Vik - drums

".....If there's one trio on ECM, however, of which the Norwegian project that is this review's object sounds most reminiscent, it would have to beMarcin Wasilewski's. It's the Polish pianist's emotionally charged melodic approach and nuanced interplay within a mainstream scope that are reflected and expanded upon byArne Torvikand his matesBjornar Kaldefoss TveiteandOystein Aarnes Vik....This album is not just easy on the ear but good for the soul". Quote from the review of "Northwestern Songs"(LOS2402), All About Jazz - Geno Thackara (2021)
