Our Take

Alright, strap in music aficionados, because we've got quite the treat for you today. Bergen BigBand and Dag Arnesen have teamed up to bring us their latest offering, "Norwegian Song IV." And let me tell you, it's like a musical hug from the fjords of Norway.

From the opening track, "Fjord Funk," you're immediately transported to a world of smooth jazz melodies mixed with a hint of Scandinavian charm. It's like being serenaded by a Viking wearing a tuxedo - unexpected, but oh so delightful.

The album continues to captivate with tracks like "Midnight Sun Samba," a lively fusion of Latin rhythms and Nordic soul. You can almost feel yourself dancing under the midnight sun, surrounded by the euphoric sounds of the BigBand.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Norwegian Song IV." Tracks like "Winter's Lament" take a melancholic turn, offering a glimpse into the bittersweet beauty of the Norwegian landscape. It's like watching the Northern Lights as they dance across the sky - hauntingly beautiful and utterly breathtaking.

Overall, Bergen BigBand and Dag Arnesen have created a masterpiece that effortlessly blends the traditional sounds of Norway with a modern twist. It's a musical journey that will leave you craving more, like a freshly baked lefse on a cold winter's day. So go ahead, treat yourself to "Norwegian Song IV" - you won't be disappointed.
