Editor's Info:
A mainstay of the Norwegian jazz underground since 1993, The Source was formed by Øyvind Brække , Per Oddvar Johansen and Trygve Seim while all were students at the Trondheim Conservatory. Its history has embraced a myriad of artistic strategies, styles and concepts, and the group itself has expanded and contracted to meet the music's needs (their first ECM release was a collaboration with the Cikada String Quartet). This new disc features the three founders, with bassist Mats Eilertsen. The Source's musical directions have been touched by American free jazz - and there are still strong intimations of Albert Ayler to be heard - as well as modern composition and eastern 'folk' styles. Most of the pieces here are by trombonist Brække, but Johansen and Seim both contribute material, and the band also plays the hymnic "Liberania" of Edward Vesala, an enduring influence.
