Øyvind Brække is a hidden treasure on the jazz scene! Played with Chick Corea Trio, Tommy Smith and The Source (ECM)

On Wilderness leader Øyvind Brække has carefully handpicked his own very ' dreamteam' of top Norwegian and Swedish jazzplayers to help perform the music on this album, all originally composed for this session. Brække music is beautiful, enigmatic and sometimes quite complex, but always melodical, it's jazz music for our time.
You can easily hear the impact and influence that contemporary classical music, combined with jazzmusics small-group-sounds has had on his writing.
