The Source -- nearly 30 years in the tradition of the infinite peculiar. The Source is a quartet with a long history. Actually, started in 1993, with the founding members Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (bass), Per Oddvar Johansen, Trygve Seim, and Øyvind Brække, who all by then studied at the Jazz Course at the Trondheim Music Conservatory. The new quartet album ... But Swinging Doesn't Bend Them Down will be published on the legendary record label Odin Records. The title is an excerpt from the poem "Birches" by the American poet Robert Frost, a title that encompass a child's dream of climbing the treetops and swinging birch branches. It could be read as a reflection over the conflict between the free play in nature and the boundaries of adult life awaiting on the ground... But maybe the ground can wait? Just join the sheer joy of climbing the trees and the careful balance that is needed not to fall and be at one with the flexibility of nature. After several season-related albums, like The Source: of Christmas (1995) and The Source: of Summer (2013), it is now a pure quartet display out in the tube, only based on original music. The pieces are all signed by the quartet members and covers a vast register; raga, shuffle, swing, lyrical spots, improv and even a rough trombone/drum outing, and more. The Source: Øyvind Brække (trombone), Trygve Seim, (saxophone), Per Oddvar Johansen (drummer), Mats Eilertsen (bass).
