Description:

When Bugge Wesseltoftâ??s â??New Conception Of Jazzâ? was released in 1996, no-one predicted what a hugely influential album it would turn out to be. Although it received the Norwegian Grammy award for â??Jazz Album Of The Yearâ? and sold well internationally, itâ??s real significance would emerge later. Other musicians in Norway and many other countries, excited by Wesseltoftâ??s new jazz sound, began offering their take on his music. Suddenly Bugge Wesseltoftâ??s â??New Conception Of Jazzâ? was at the forefront of what was quickly becoming a hip new trend. The press began calling it Nu-Jazz and among the first wave of bands that broke in the wake of it were Nils Petter Molvaer, Wibutee and Jaga Jazzist, who suggested this new trend had much to offer. What Wesseltoft had done was to take the sounds and rhythms of club culture and electronica, and combined them with jazz improvisation. But as we all know, having a good idea is one thing, translating it into successful reality is quite another and, as Wesseltoft is first to admit, it took time and a lot of experimentation. In the event, the successful realization of his concept was less about the means he used to achieve his end, but more about the end he ultimately achieved, which is what â??New Conception Of Jazzâ? is all about. The â??New Conception Of Jazzâ? triggered the first important contemporary jazz trend to emanate outside the USA, demonstrating musical change in jazz need not emanate in the land of its origin, or even sound like American jazz, in order to be labelled as â??authenticâ??. It also had the welcome effect of focusing attention on the Norwegian / European jazz scene as a new confidence in the home-grown product gradually became apparent as festivals, which had previously built their program around established American jazz stars and filling in the gaps with European bands, awoke to the wealth of talent on their own doorstep. -This 2023-repressing comes with new digipack artwork and liner-notes. - ..
