BUGGE WESSELTOFT / Norwegen

In the organizer's words:

Bugge Wesseltoft's new album is a continuation of his series of solo albums that began in 2007. Inspired by a melancholic downtempo mood, these solo albums always contain hopeful messages or reflect the latest news in the world. Previously, these albums also featured guests such as Joshua Redman and Mari Bone, to name but a few.

In March 2025, the 5th part of this solo album series was released, now featuring numerous illustrious guests. Each of them joins Bugge Wesseltoft on 1-2 compositions. The following artists are represented on this varied joint album: The legendary Arild Andersen on double bass triffes with Gard Nilssen on drums, who together with Bugge form the classic piano trio in acoustic tuning.

Up-and-coming artist Øyunn on drums and Jens Mikkel Madsen on bass form a modern abstract rhythm section to support Bugge's flowing melodies. The album also features vocals and lyrics by Rohey, together with Martin Myhre Olsen on saxophone and Swede Elias Tafjord on drums.

The renowned tabla player Sanskriti Shrestha adds her Indian rhythms to the melancholic playing of Bugge Wesseltoft's grand piano. Oddrun Lilja on guitar is one of the other outstanding Jazzland Recs artists that Bugge has promoted and presented for many years.
