TERJE RYPDAL 'Waves' ECM Vinyl LP (1971 Jazz)

Year of release: 1971

Trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg feeds his horn through a ring modulator here, bending flugelhorn lines into strange electric shapes against Rypdal's ARP synth and long, singing guitar. Cut at Oslo's Talent Studio with drummer Jon Christensen, the quartet drifts between icy ambience and real swing, which AllMusic heard as some of his jazziest music. Try 'The Dain Curse' after dark.

Condition: New/Sealed/Mint
