*** Digipack

The best improvisors are the ones that seem to invent and

uninvent their instruments right in front of your eyes and ears.

Swedish pianist Sten Sandell and Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-

Love are two musical champions with a long experience of doing

exactly that. Jacana, the latest in Rune Grammofon's occasional

series of unusual duo combinations, features the pair's sparky

improvised set captured at the 2013 Kongsberg Jazz Festival in

southern Norway. Sten and Paal have been working together since

forming a trio with Swedish bassist Johan Berthling (Fire!, Tape, etc)

in 1999, but this duet marks the start of a new chapter in their

relationship. Jacana's three tracks find the players flying close to the

limits of their comfort zones, sometimes resembling the strange

formality of Asian court music. It's savage and ritualistic, spiky yet

flowing, arhythmic but surging with understated pulses. Sandell

breaks into vocal overtones on “Tauri”, like some tranced-out

Mongolian shaman. He pokes around in the guts of Nilssen-Love's

rough surgical cuts and, at the start of the track acana' itself, pulls

out some ear-bogglingly rubbery notes from his piano's deep

innards. At the end of "Curvature” they break off from their

instruments and simply clap for a while. Two men getting down to

the essentials of what humans can do with wood, strings and skin.

Sten Sandell is one of Swedish jazz's most distinguished elder

statesmen, having worked unrelentingly since the mid-80s.
