Pre Sale: 2024-05-24 | Nils Landgren, Lars Danielsson,
Description:
Recorded during 2005's JazzBaltica festival, it features the trio of Lars Danielsson (bass), Nils Landgren (trombone) and Christopher Dell (vibes). This isn't a typical festival performance though; the musicians set up at 5am by the Salzau palace pond, inside an installation made by artists Ilya Kabakov and Vladimir Tarasov (also of the Ganelin Trio).Constructed from scaffolding, metallic 'sound rods' and strung with steel wires and suspended items of cutlery, the installation provides a gentle undertow of percussive clinks behind the trio's improvisations. Alongside that, there's the murmur of the dawn chorus, the sound of sleepy festivalgoers and the occasional gurgle from the pond, all captured in a quite beautiful recording.
