Arild Andersen - Green In Blue

Box set in ECM�s acclaimed Old & New Masters series reintroduces Arild Andersen�s first three leader dates for the label � �Clouds In My Head�, �Shimri�, and �Green Shading Into Blue�. Recorded between 1975 and 1978, none of these albums has previously been issued on compact disc, and this edition is eagerly awaited. The music traces Andersen�s personal evolution from �free�-inclined bassist to bandleader-composer and introduces some players who would prove important for the future of the music � amongst them an 18-year-old Jon Balke on the �Clouds� session.
