Title:	Yarra Yarra
Label:	NOVEMBER MUSIC (UK)

Catalog #:	NVR 2017

"Yarra Yarra is by a jazz duo from Finland formed by the late Edward Vesala's wife Iro Haarla and the lead saxophonist of Sound & Fury-- Pepa Päivinen. The album was recorded during the darkest and coldest day in Finland. A very melancholy and beautiful ballad album, rooted deeply in Finnish folk forms and jazz abstraction. This is also the first recording which includes many of Vesala's tunes since he died in 1999. A true dedication to him." Iro Haarla (piano, harp, Jeng), Pepa Päivinen (soprano/tenor/baritone saxophones, alto flute).

Title:	Before The Light
Label:	NOVEMBER MUSIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	NVR 2019

Ketil Bjørnstad (piano and synthesizers), Eivind Aarset (guitars), Nora Taksdal (viola), Kjetil Bjerkestrand (synthesizers, samplers and percussion). "Before the Light is an imaginary soundtrack that was originally composed for a story set in Taiwan. In this story, the city of Taipei provides the backdrop for a chance meeting between a taxi driver in search of a mysterious lover and a lonely writer in search of her own identity. Composer Ketil Bjørnstad has visited Taiwan a number of times and is very attracted to this country, its people and atmosphere. Because the movie Before the Light was never realized and Bjørnstad had only a story outline and some preparatory photos of the scenes and locations for the film to work with, he composed the soundtrack based on his own memories of Taiwan and his own interpretation of the story? the outcome is both beautiful and haunting, his compositions exploring a broad musical vocabulary ranging from the delicately sensual to the explosively rhythmical."
