Description:
ā??His sound is one of the most original and immediately recognizable on the planet,ā?¯ Guitar Player magazine has noted, identified by ā??a majestic, echoed, singing tone with precisely articulated vibrato and nearly endless sustain, and a string-like attack via volume-pedal swells.ā?¯ There is plenty of Rypdalā??s signature sound on Blue in the stripped-down context of the Chasers, a band capable of being both a post-Hendrix power trio and an improvising chamber group, exploring Terjeā??s evocative themes. -
"Blue (Touchstones)" is a captivating CD release by the renowned Norwegian guitarist and composer Terje Rypdal, issued by ECM Records. This album showcases Rypdal's signature blend of jazz fusion, ambient soundscapes, and progressive rock influences. The music on "Blue" is atmospheric yet dynamic, featuring expressive guitar work layered with lush synthesizers and subtle rhythms that create an immersive listening experience. Terje Rypdal has been a pivotal figure in European jazz since the 1970s, celebrated for his innovative approach to composition and improvisation. Over his illustrious career, he has released numerous acclaimed albums on ECM Records and collaborated with leading artists such as Jan Garbarek and Miroslav Vitous.
ECM Records is a legendary label founded in 1969 by Manfred Eicher in Munich, Germany. Known for its pristine sound quality and distinctive aesthetic vision, ECM has played a crucial role in shaping contemporary jazz and classical music worldwide. The label?s catalog features groundbreaking works from artists like Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny Group, Arvo Pärt, and many more.
Terje Rypdal has always been something of a guilty pleasure, not really being a jazz musician, but being in jazz - sounding like Ry Cooder who had accidentally strayed in to a pretty "outside" recording session. BLUE is amazing album...
