Affirmation Arild Andersen Group SKU: 5511565 Barcode: 602455115652 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM Released Date: 17th November 2023 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Norwegian bassist Arild Andersen, an ECM musician for more than fifty years, is a masterful player who has always welcomed a challenge. His first recording with his new quartet – including rising stars Marius Neset and Helge Lien (both bandleaders in their own right) – is almost entirely improvised. The players make the leap of faith together and find and develop forms in the moment, an object lesson in spontaneous group creativity. Affirmation was recorded in November 2021 at Oslo’s Rainbow Studio. Arild Andersen: double bass Marius Neset: tenor saxophone Helge Lien: piano Hakon Mjaset Johansen: drums “World class all-star ensemble. Affirmation, the ensemble’s debut album, is almost entirely the product of spontaneous interaction, often inspired by Andersen, whose contra bass acts as the voice of reason – probing, pushing, suggesting tempo, key centre, and atmosphere.” – **** Jazzwise “An inspired exercise in improvisational alchemy…Andersen’s spare bass articulations open Affirmation Part 1 unveiling a beguiling sound world of glistering piano, hissing cymbals, eloquent tenor saxophone and Andersen’s atmospheric pedal effects.” – **** The Scotsman “There is a flow and logic about the music made that shows remarkable empathy within the new quartet. The ability to react intuitively and cohesively is at the heart of the music, as is an inherent sense of lyricism…Andersen’s ‘Short Story’ is a delicately played out piece that serves as glorious finale to a wonderful album.” – Jazz Views Artist Arild Andersen Group Genre Jazz Label ECM Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Affirmation Part I Affirmation Part II Short Story Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Joe Harriott Partying With Joe Jazz | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 6th February 2013 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Harriott Partying With Joe £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1506 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nate Wooley, Christian Weber, Paul Lytton Six Feet Under Jazz | No Business | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd July 2012 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nate Wooley, Christian Weber, Paul Lytton Six Feet Under £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: No Business SKU: NBLP46 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | SACD Released 13th January 2017 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UDSACD2150 Formats: SACD Released Date: 13th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Zorn New Masada Quartet Benefit LP Jazz | TZADIK | 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £65.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Zorn New Masada Quartet Benefit LP £65.00 Genre: Jazz Label: TZADIK SKU: LPTZA6013 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Jean-Luc Ponty King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa Jazz | United Artists | 1LP Released 26th September 2023 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jean-Luc Ponty King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: United Artists SKU: nn272845 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th September 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Coltrane Giant Steps (Atlantic 75 Series) Jazz | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th March 2024 £75.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations John Coltrane Giant Steps (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 010-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Coleman Hawkins & His Orchestra Crown (mono) Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 20th August 2012 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Coleman Hawkins & His Orchestra Crown (mono) £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPRLP5181 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th August 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ella Fitzgerald Ella At The Hollywood Bowl: The Irving Berlin Songbook Jazz | Verve | 1LP Released 24th June 2022 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Ella Fitzgerald Ella At The Hollywood Bowl: The Irving Berlin Songbook £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 4544730 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Grant Green Talkin’ About (XRCD) Jazz | Audio Wave Music | CD Released 17th February 2023 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grant Green Talkin’ About (XRCD) £42.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Audio Wave Music SKU: AWMXR0025 Formats: CD Released Date: 17th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Afro Blue Impressions Jazz | Craft Recordings | 2LP Released 29th March 2024 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Afro Blue Impressions £30.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 7235781 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
