Title:
DodoVoodoo
Label:
RUNE GRAMMOFON (NORWAY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
RCD 2075CD
Already a firm live favorite on the Norwegian scene for a couple of years due to a handful of highly energetic and very enthusiastically received concerts, the trio of
Ståle Storløkken
(
Supersilent
,
Humcrush
),
Nikolai Eilertsen
(
The National Bank
) and
Torstein Lofthus
(
Shining
) on drums finally deliver their debut album. Ståle Storløkken is widely considered to be the most inventive and musically creative keyboard player to spring out of the Norwegian jazz scene. On
DodoVoodoo
he mostly concentrates on organ and electric piano, giving the album a late '60s, early '70s feel with traces of rock, jazz, prog and psychedelia. This, in combination with a young rhythm section that comes mostly with a rock background, gives it a fresh and contemporary edge. Nikolai Eilertsen was first known to the Norwegian public through the rock groups
Big Bang
and
The National Bank
, which also includes
Morten Qvenild
from
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra
and
In The Country
as well as
Jaga Jazzist
brothers
Lars
and
Martin Horntvet
. Torstein Lofthus is an extremely versatile drummer who has done a lot of session work as well as playing in jazz, soul and rock bands, most notably Shining, being the only member still in the band along with founder
Jørgen Munkeby
.
DodoVoodoo
was recorded live in Grand Sport Studio, the same analogue facility where
Scorch Trio
records.

Walk The Nile
Label:
RUNE GRAMMOFON (NORWAY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
RCD 2095CD
This is the second full-length album by Norway's
Elephant9
.
DodoVoodoo
(RCD 2075CD), the debut from this Hammond-driven power trio, received excellent international reviews upon its release in 2008. Already a firm favorite on the Norwegian and European live scene due to top-notch musicianship, a high energy level and very enthusiastically-received concerts, they once again deliver the goods on record with
Walk The Nile
. Sporting five originals from Storløkken and one from Eilertsen, this is a general improvement on the debut, as good as that one was. Again being an all-analog recording co-produced by
Christian Engfelt
at Oslo's Grand Sport Studios, it has a gorgeous, organic, late-'60s/early '70s feel, combining elements from rock, jazz, psychedelia, funk and prog.
Ståle Storløkken
is widely considered to be the most inventive and musically creative keyboard player to spring out of the fertile Norwegian jazz scene, his playing with
Supersilent
,
Humcrush
,
Terje Rypdal
,
Nils Petter Molvær
and countless others being firm testament to this.
Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen
, on electric bass, was first known to the Norwegian public through his playing with popular rock group
Big Bang
, and later chart-topping pop group
The National Bank
.
Torstein Lofthus
is an extremely versatile drummer who has done a lot of session work as well as playing in jazz, soul and rock bands, most notably
Shining
.
