Rymden - Space Sailors - New 2 LP Record 2020 Jazzland Vinyl - Jazz

Free as a Bird Rymden's electrifying live dynamic, their restless explorations, and their illimitable capacity for self-reinvention is captured in three live recordings from a superb performance in Lund in 2019 on their tour of the album "Reflections and Odysseys". High octane renditions of the prog-rock inflections of "Odyssey", and the exploding dark matter jazz-funk of "Pitter-Patter" show that a piano trio has unlimited potential to adrenalize music and audience alike, while the fugue-like meandering and soft melodic undulations of "The Lugubrious Youth of Lucky Luke" demonstrate a unique take on the idea of "soundscape". Rich with spontaneous interplay and counterpoint, expeditious virtuosic solos, and triune singlemindedness, it is a perfect encapsulation of the live Rymden experience, and once heard, an ineluctable incentive to experience the concerts at first hand.
