专辑简介
Jens Christian Bugge Wesseltoft (born 1 February 1964 in Porsgrunn) is a Norwegian jazz musician, pianist, composer and producer. He has his own label named Jazzland Records. In the 1990s, Bugge has made a transition from Nordic jazz traditions exemplified by the ECM record label to a style sometimes referred to as "future jazz" or nu jazz. He has played with Jan Garbarek.
‘IM’ is gentle Piano Jazz – melancholic, mature, sublime. Yet pieces such as ‘Fo(o)t’ or ‘Joi’ are quite easygoing, both with a laidback groove. The latter comes along with a short drumloop, a tambourine and a lush E-Piano. It could be a Sade song, but in fact it features Mari Boine – Bugge Wesseltoft’s compatriot from Norway with that fairy-alike voice. She also sings on ‘Nite’. Too bad her vocals weren’t yet recorded for the promotional copy of the album. Especially regarding ‘Nite’: only based on nothing else but sporadic rhythmic tones. Together with her voice it must create mystical intensity. Bugge plays outstanding pieces, whose minimalism works like an intoxicating serum. For instance in ‘Min By’ the modular melody is accompanied by a simple clapping, surrounded by distant street noise and possibly maraca as well as sparse bongo. The percussive elements are so reduced, sort of archaic, low-key like the piano but so haunting, that one intuitively immerses in this music. Sometimes deeply sad but never desperate. Bugge doesn’t just drift in melancholy. Beyond being just an emotional album: ‘IM’ is meditation through minimalistic music.
