Jon Eberson, - a true legend in Norwegian jazz, and one of the reasons for it's high status and respect in world-wide jazz circles, now re-surfacing on Norway's next generation, future jazz label extraordinaire, Jazzland.

Dreams that went astray

joneberson.jpg a deep uncompromising journey into Jazzland new territory, Eberson's unmistakable guitar "personality", trademark themes of the tallest order, this time round accompanied by two distinct jazz generations - the créme de la méme of both old school Norwegian jazz and it's new breed key players.

On board for this new release, Jon Eberson has utilised the fresh young talents of vocalist Beate Slettevold Lech, Jazzland's vocalist discovery, famed for her recent hipper-than-thou excursions as "Beady Belle" - as well as Nils Petter Molvær's maestro of the decks, Norway's leading turntablist, DJ Strangefruit.

Not that this album should just be seen as just another exercise in fusion, no - Jon Eberson has managed to make things work, comfortably and successfully. Eight sublime pieces, his performances sounding fresher that ever, with a confident delivery perfect for fans of his much celebrated past, and new listeners akin to the Jazzland philosophy of taking things to places others try, but fail to reach!

Perfect for a late-night cinematic drive through Oslo jazz-ambiences, melodic and astute as ever. Norwegian jazz doesn't get much better than this. a select outing of Jazzland post-millennium urban sounds, song and jazz excursions with a solid foundation provided by of one of jazz-guitar's eminent figures out there freestyling, and ready to go.

Jazzlander
About the author:
Born in the heart of Jazzland at an early age, the Jazzlander found words within music and music within words. Raised by his parents in a small village, they eventually would lower him in a big city. It was there that his unique gifts were recognised, and he was imprisoned within the confines of the Jazzland website. It is here that he unleashes his views of music, and calls on those with the ability to hear to listen.
