Terje Rypdal & The Chasers - Blue

His sound is one of the most original and immediately recognizable on the planet, Guitar Player magazine has noted, identified by a majestic, echoed, singing tone with precisely articulated vibrato and nearly endless sustain, and a string-like attack via volume-pedal swells.

There is plenty of Rypdal's signature sound on Blue in the stripped-down context of the Chasers, a band capable of being both a post-Hendrix power trio and an improvising chamber group, exploring Terje's evocative themes.

Personnel: Terje Rypdal: guitars, keyboards; Bj�rn Kjellemyr: double bass, bass guitar; Audun Kleive: drums, percussion
