Description
Melodic, modern big band jazz
Pianist, composer, arranger. Leader of his own groups, essential as a co-leader and sideman in several others. Teacher, writer, once the editor of the Norwegian jazz magazine Jazznytt - Rune Klakegg's presence on the Norwegian (jazz) music scene has been diverse, distinct and not to forget important over a period of 40 years. Well documented as his extensive work may be, one result of it has been underrepresented on records: His music for large ensembles. Fjon will serve to fill this gap.
As a whole, this amounts to 55 minutes of music from a vital, Norwegian jazz veteran, finding his place in a relatively fresh, but still seasoned ensemble where alto and flute player Guttorm Guttormsen (66) is one of the musicians that the teenager Rune Klakegg played together with in Skien in the early 70-ies.
And that is how it should be. Some circles are closed while others start, and whenever those never-ending processes lead to music like the music we hear on Fjon, all that remains for us to do is receive it, with a bow and gratitude.
