THE THING
“Again”
Recorded July 2nd and 3rd, 2017 by Øyvind Gundersen at Studio Paradiso, Oslo. Mixed October 2017, by Andreas Werliin at Repeat Until Death, Stockholm. Produced by Johan Berthling, artwork by Lasse Marhaug.
Mats Gustafsson, soprano and tenor saxophones. Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, acoustic and electric bass. Paal Nilssen-Love, drums and percussion. Plus Joe McPhee, pocket trumpet, as guest on one track.
“Though “Again” is the well-proved mixture of cover versions and original compositions, this time the focus is rather on jazz. The only cover, Decision in Paradise, is an old, rather conventional Frank Lowe piece. […] The center of the album is the 21-minute “Sur Face“, presenting the band at full throttle featuring Gustafsson at his most effective and juxtaposed with more aggressive playing from the rhythm section. […] Vicky Di rounds out the album, it’s the only composition that recalls the old, more rock-ish days at the beginning of their career.” By Martin Schray - freejazzblog.org
