Aksel Røed's Other Aspects
Do You Dream in Colours?

Om utgivelsen

OVERVIEW
One of the most interesting young names within the Bergen and Norwegian jazz scene is saxophonist Aksel Røed. He’s playing with many different bands and constellations, including General Post Office and Dag Arnesen, and he is in high demand as a player.

With Other Aspects, Aksel Røed has put together an 8-piece ensemble of his friends from different bands, and he draws on his inspirations from the old saxophone recordings of Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler and Pharoah Sanders, but also in the composing mind of Django Bates and Charlie Haden’s Liberation Orchestra. As he explains himself:

OTHER ASPECTS allows me to constantly drift into different directions and usually with short notice. The music is composed but not set, meaning it’s perfectly acceptable, and even encouraged to think and play outside the box. Most of the magic within the band lies in the free improvisation.

Recorded in Duper Studio in Bergen, “Do You Dream in Colours?” is a massive piece of an album. And as a proper old jazz album, it comes with liner notes from the old Norwegian jazz veteran Knut Kristiansen.

JAZZPROFILEN

Kaffeslabberas hos Jazzfluenseren

JAZZPROFILEN: - Det er jo helt fascinerende hva folk driver på med, og hva slags tanker de har om sin utøving. Alle har jo sin egen måte å tråkle seg gjennom kunstnerskapet sitt, forteller den selvutnevnte jazzfluenseren Jørn Erik Ahlsen Alkanger. Ved et lite kjøkkenbord på Nesodden samtaler han med andre musikere om kunsten og om livet, som publiseres annenhver uke i podkast-serien Jazzfluenseren.
