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.
