Midwest Mathias Eick SKU: 4708910 Barcode: 602547244789 21.00 £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM Released Date: 2nd July 2015 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Trumpeter Mathias Eick benefits from ECM’s policy of releasing especially strong albums on 180g audiophile vinyl (in addition to CD) with this intensely melodic set of original compositions which makes an imaginative journey from Norway to the vast plains of Dakota in the American Midwest. It was to the Midwest that hundreds of thousands of Norwegians travelled by sea in the 19th and early 20th centuries – and naturally they took their music with them. In similar spirit Eick, a Norwegian improviser-composer strongly influenced by North American jazz, here reintegrates some of the colours and textures of his native folk music in these newly-created pieces. In the frontline of the line-up featured here he is partnered by the brilliant violinist Gjermund Larsen, whose roots are in the Norwegian folk tradition. Trumpet and violin exchange lines and soar together above a brilliant rhythm section with Jon Balke at his most lyrical, Helge Norbakken periodically finding pulses that can suggest tribal drumming or buffalo hooves, and the resourceful Mats Eilertsen helping to drive the music forward. The original inspiration for the album was sparked by a gruelling North American tour: “I’d been out on the road for a long time and was feeling homesick. Then we reached the area called the Midwest and I suddenly felt as if I was home. I had a sense of why the early settlers would want to build their farms there. It reminded me very much of parts of Norway. ‘Midwest’ was recorded at Oslo’s Rainbow Studio and produced by Manfred Eicher. It is Mathias Eick’s third ECM album as a leader, following on from ‘The Door’ (recorded 2007), and ‘Skala’ (recorded 2009-2010). Mathias can also be heard on recordings by guitarist Jacob Young, by pianist-harpist Iro Haarla, and on drummer Manu Katché’s ‘Playground’. Personnel: Mathias Eick (trumpet), Gjermund Larsen (violin), Jon Balke (piano), Mats Eilertsen (double bass), Helge Norbakken (percussion) Artist Mathias Eick Genre Jazz Label ECM Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country Germany Track Listings Midwest Hem March At Sea Dakota Lost Fargo November Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Mathias Eick and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Mathias Eick Ravensburg Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th March 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mathias Eick Ravensburg £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 6724656 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mathias Eick Skala Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 11th April 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mathias Eick Skala £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 2763107 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th April 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Horace Tapscott Tapscott + Winds Jazz | Nimbus West | 180g, 1LP Released 25th November 2022 £46.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Horace Tapscott Tapscott + Winds £46.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Nimbus West SKU: NS-4146 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Zorn Naked City Jazz | 1972 | 2LP Released 9th June 2018 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Zorn Naked City £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 1972 SKU: IF34 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Herbie Hancock Septet Live At The Boston Jazz Workshop 1973 Jazz | Hi Hat | 180g, 2LP Released 11th September 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Herbie Hancock Septet Live At The Boston Jazz Workshop 1973 £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Hi Hat SKU: HH2LP017 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers Like Someone In Love Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 18th August 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers Like Someone In Love £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LP84245 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tenderlonious Ft.
