MZN3

opis:
multikulti.com:
Norwesko-szwedzkie trio saksofonowo-basowo-perkusyjne, pomimo niewielkiego składu zachwyca gęstwiną zaskakujących dźwięków. Dwaj Norwegowie (saksofonista Kjetil Moster i basista Per Zanussi) i Szwed (perkusista Kjell Nordeson) to w światku muzyki improwizowanej osoby doskonale znane.
Kjetil Moster to członek The Core, Crimetime Orchestra, Trinity, Zanussi 5, The Heat Deat.
Per Zanussi nagrywa zarówno z kolegami ze skandynawskiej sceny improwizowanej jak Martin Kuchen i jego Trespass Trio, Circulasione Totale Orchestra, Wibutee, ale i z muzykami ze stanów jak Marilyn Crispell czy Joe McPhee.
Kjell Nordeson to partner Matsa Gustafssona ze Swedish Azz, Pipeline i NU Ensemble, członek Ken Vandermark's School Days, AALY Trio, członek od samego początku istnienia supergrupy Martina Kuchena Angles w wielu jej odsłonach, z którym to po raz pierwszy spotykał się w doskonałym The Exploding Customer.

Niezwykle ruchliwy i kreatywny saksofonista Kjetil Moster, szczególnie gdy przesiada się na baryton przywodzi na myśl wczesnego Davida Murraya. Całość, dość różnorodna skrzy się improwizatorskimi rozbłyskami, czasami zahaczając nawet o hutę szkła w produkcyjnym ferworze.

JazzTimes:
I'm a sucker for a good sax-bass-drums trio, and this group is definitely that. The two Norwegians (saxophonist Kjetil Moster and bassist Per Zanussi) and Swede (drummer Kjell Nordeson) who make up this band are clever improvisers, with big ears and a perhaps too-stingily rationed inclination to swing. Tunes like “Simoon” effectively juxtapose free-bop and out-of-time free associative passages. Moster’s tenor and baritone work echoes early David Murray to some extent, complete with vibrato-laden whinnies and barely controlled excursions into the horns’ upper register. He also conceives some interesting melodic lines and plies timbre effectively.
Zanussi is a fleet and inventive bassist. He gets around on his instrument like a horn player, without sacrificing quality of sound, which can’t be said of every bassist I’ve heard recently. Nordeson excels at evoking tonal color, which he combines with a tight sense of rhythm. His free playing is focused and solid, and his (relatively) straightahead playing is malleable yet no less intense. Moster occasionally relies on held tones in the upper register that don’t really go anywhere, yet overall the trio is persuasive in its own post-Ornette Coleman way.

Editor's info:
The new group MZN3 is a collaboration between the two Norwegians Kjetil Moster (tenor sax) and Per Zanussi (double bass), and the Swedish master drummer Kjell Nordeson.
Their exciting debut album is now out on Jazzaway Records.
This powerful blend of free improvisation, grooves and psychedelic jazz sounds is a roaring experience for your head. Their question and answer approach works like a well oiled machine and the music twist and turn into different directions toward a common goal. The sum of this trio is definetly greater then its parts.
