It's not often a jazz band takes the big step from the club scene to a 1300-capacity rock venue like Oslo's Rockefeller. But then again,
Elephant9
is not your ordinary jazz band. Often cited as Norway's best live band -- surely quite rare for an instrumental band -- they are equally popular in jazz and rock circles. On this, their fourth studio album, Elephant9 once again join forces with
Reine Fiske
, the Swedish guitarist from
Dungen
and
The Amazing
, for an epic slice of mindblowing modern rock 'n' jazz prog psychedelia.
Silver Mountain
is their finest album so far, a work on which all the parts fall into place. The core trio is still
Ståle Storløkken
,
Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen
, and
Torstein Lofthus
, three of Norway's finest musicians. Guest Reine Fiske brings another dimension to the band and is now so integrated that he might as well be considered a permanent member.
Silver Mountain
contains five tracks between 10 and 22 minutes; four originals, plus the most spaced-out version of "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" you're likely to encounter. Ståle Storløkken (Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes, Minimoog, Prophet t8, piano) is widely considered to be the most inventive keyboard player from the fertile Norwegian jazz scene, a reputation founded in his work with bands and musicians like
Supersilent
,
Humcrush
,
Motorpsycho
,
Terje Rypdal
, and countless others. Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen (bass, acoustic guitars) is a long-time member of popular rock group
Big Bang
as well as
Kjetil Møster
's quartet
Møster!
. Torstein Lofthus (drums) is a versatile drummer who has done a lot of session work and played in jazz, soul, and rock bands, most notably
Shining
. Reine Fiske (electric and acoustic guitars) is a member of Dungen and The Amazing and has guested on two Motorpsycho albums. He is also heavily involved in the Swedish record label Subliminal Sounds.
