Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This is the first solo venture from a musician known to many through his excellent work with fellow Norwegian Trygve Seim's Different Rivers ensemble, or with Iain Ballamy in the Norwegian-English quartet Food. The Zen--inflected Sakuteiki is arresting testimony to the aural breadth and depth of poetic imagination cultivated by this fine Norwegian trumpet player. The roots of that imagination can be traced back to Miles Davis: "Shrine", a key track where Henriksen's plangent ruminations unfold over a typically indeterminate pulse, refigures much of the mood of a classic Davis track like "Generique" from the 1957 Lift To The Scaffold, for example. There are also touches of Jon Hassell, particularly when Henriksen's remarkable technical control brings a shakuhachi-like quality of breath, phrasing and sound to his main instrument (he also plays harmonium and church organ, sparingly). However, the main thing to note about this album is its overall originality of intent and execution. Titled after an 11th-century Japanese treatise on garden planning, Sakuteiki offers many moments of both grave and contemplative beauty, with each of the 15 tracks of its 50 or so minutes an eloquent indication of the fact that less can often be more. --Michael Tucker


CD Description

Debut solo album from trumpeter who plays in Norwegian freejazz outfit Supersilent. A collection of solo recordings with occasional percussion and organ, inspired by Japanese philosophy and Henriksen's study of the bamboo shakuhachi flute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thats enough music lets have some singing!, 16 Aug 2004
By LYNDON OWEN (MONMOUTH, Gwent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Arve is outstanding in this piece of beautifully peaceful, contemporary norwegian work so why do I give it 4 stars? Simple, the man has the voice of an angel which moves many to tears, and it is not to be heard on the album. His tonality is so unique I bought the CD on the strength of it after hearing him live and on recordings with Trygve Siem and FOOD. Don't be put off, this is masterful and some of the most atmospheric trumpet blowing to be recorded, but the voice would have raised it beyond the fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting..., 14 Aug 2003
By N. A. Bakhshov "nadimbakhshov" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Arve Henrikson's playing on this album is lilting, spacious and imaginative. There is a fresh minimalism to the soundworld here. The mood is at once haunting and intimate.

I expect that Henrikson's reputation will continue to grow and grow until he becomes a definition of improvisatory musicianship for a new generation of musicians. He is already on that path. Nothing predictable or straightforward here. There's clearly an intelligence at work on this album.

Thoroughly recommended.
