Jazz Out Of Norway presents on a two-CD compilation the best of Norwegian jazz in 30 tracks. To discover on Justfocus with the listening link. The Norwegian jazz scene is incredibly rich, especially given the size of the country. Since the 60s, this country has always wanted to develop its musical wealth, with many labels, artists, festivals, which testify to an incredible creativity. The compilation Jazz ouf of Norway demonstrates in thirty tracks that jazz is in this country of total modernity, approaching different styles with equal success. Away from the spotlight, it is permissible to take risks, to try and to fail. I did not grow up in Norway, but in France, far from the capital, at the end of the world, at the end of an old continent. The word "jantelov" over there is understandable. That means we're not trying to look good, we're just doing things differently. 
If the pioneers of this Scandinavian musical tradition appeared in the 1950s, it was in the early 70s that a minimalist, airy, almost mystical jazz emerged. The 30 tracks selected in this compilation give a perfect overview of the diversity and quality of the jazz musicians chosen. Instead of waiting for the wave, the hype, here we invent our own rules, we think about the problems of the time. We give ourselves the means because we have them. To understand this, you don't have to fly, at least for now. The 30 tracks selected in this compilation give a perfect overview. That said, after listening to it, you may need more. That's all we wish for you! To listen to Silence Wind and Water · Elin Rosseland · Johannes Eick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQZc6QnRZbk This Norwegian scene has, above all, mystery and modesty. Qualities that are born in remote places, or less exposed. This is where the real treasures are. Away from the spotlight, it is permissible to take risks, to try and to fail. The compilation of thirty tracks is available on Spotify or on the official website. To check out the video of House On A Hill · Terje Gewelt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6mBzZz9CsE
