Our Take

Norwegian jazz maestros Helge Lien Trio and Tore Brunborg deliver a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece with "Funeral Dance." This album is a musical journey that will both mesmerize and captivate listeners from start to finish.

The trio's impeccable musicianship shines through on each track, with Lien's intricate piano playing leading the way. Brunborg's sultry saxophone weaves in and out, adding depth and emotion to every note. Together, they create a soundscape that is both melancholic and uplifting.

"Funeral Dance" is a sonic experience unlike any other, blending elements of traditional jazz with modern influences. The trio's chemistry is palpable, and their improvisational skills are unmatched.

Standout tracks include the mesmerizing "Elegy for a Dreamer," which showcases Lien's technical prowess, and the soul-stirring "The Mourning After," where Brunborg's saxophone takes center stage.

Overall, "Funeral Dance" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. It's a hauntingly beautiful tribute to life, death, and everything in between. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Helge Lien Trio and Tore Brunborg take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
