Description:

Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer has his own very individual sound, influenced as much by the poetry of Scandinavian nature as by electronic calculation, and last but not least by colleagues like Miles Davis und Jon Hassell. Listening to him play, it's easy to forget that his instrument is a trumpet. On his last album, HAMADA, he switched to and fro between very harmonious and extremely brutal passages, while on BABOON MOON these two opposite poles blend into a unified whole again. Improvisation is an important factor but for this music Molvaer calls it free, black prog rock.

"Baboon Moon" is a captivating CD album by renowned Norwegian jazz trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær, released under the label Thi. This record showcases Molvær's signature blend of atmospheric jazz, electronic elements, and world music influences, creating an immersive soundscape that pushes genre boundaries. The tracks on "Baboon Moon" are marked by haunting trumpet melodies layered over intricate rhythms and ambient textures, making it a standout addition to any contemporary jazz collection. Nils Petter Molvær has established himself as one of the leading figures in modern European jazz. With previous acclaimed albums such as "Khmer," "Solid Ether," and "ER," he has received international recognition for his innovative approach to music-making. His work often bridges the gap between acoustic improvisation and electronic experimentation, earning him numerous awards including Spellemannprisen (the Norwegian Grammy).
