Gisle Torvik - Tranquil Fjord

His new, third full length studio album impresses with a broad range of styles. First of all the listener can find those contemplative, typical Skandinavian musical paintings one would expect from an album called Tranquil Fjord but Torvik and his trio have a more versatile palette, calling you back with some vivid, energetic Bebop and Blues. This is a mature jazz record that is so much more than sheer Norwegian jazz-kitsch.
