This label has some immensely talent Norwegian bands.

"Rune Grammofon is a Norwegian record label founded in 1998 by Rune Kristoffersen. Rune Grammofon's reputation for lovingly issued experimental electronic music, jazz, and improvised music by Norwegian artists has grown over the years with its artists being featured heavily in magazines such as The Wire and Plan B Magazine.

The label is home to the widely respected improvisational group Supersilent as well as the solo work of its members including Deathprod and Arve Henriksen. Other notable releases are by Shining, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Jono El Grande, Skyphone, Alog, Phonophani and Food.

Let's discuss. If people haven't heard any of the bands on their label, give them a try. I know a few folks enjoyed Arve's album.

I know Arve Henriksen. But he's with ECM now, isn't he?

I'm a big fan of the Scandinavian jazz sound. They bring a unique lyricism to brass sounds. Do you have any recommendations?

I recently got...

Skyphone - Avellaneda
Mathias Eick - The Door
Jon Hassell - Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street
In the Country - Whiteout
Nils Økland - Bris

They are all superb, with that grammofon sound. The Skyphone is almost pop music, in a sense.

You should try out the Jon Hassell album. Hassell pioneered that lyrical, experimental trumpet sound. And all these Norwegians are big fans. Hassell has toured exclusively in Europe until just this past year. We, here in the US, were lucky enough to have him for a few shows. The title, Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street is from a Rumi poem. Believe it or not, it sounds just like what you would think given that title.

EH, isn't that an ECM release?

I will check this one out, thanks.

edit: and it's on Spotify, I won't even have to download it :)
