It took Espen Berg 20 years of preparation to improvise a one and a half hour concert. This performance gave him international recognition when released in October 2022 and his new album is now ready.

When Espen Berg sits down at the grand piano, a continuous flow of music arises. He calls the method spontaneous composition - a form of improvisation. Life's unexpected twist gave Espen Berg the emotional depth he needed to convey something behind the grand piano. "The Nidaros Concert" follows up his critical acclaimed improv-debut, "The Trondheim Concert".

The album will be released on March 31st on NXN Recordings. The date of publication is commemorative about a little person who passed away on the same date. A demise that is processed in the music.

5 out of 6 and a great Review for Kjetil Husebø's new album in Aftenposten!

"The time has come for Kjetil Husebø"

"One of my favorite things is all the details that move inside the soft and fluctuating."

"After having greatly appreciated Kjetil Husebø's music for many years, I am not surprised to hear what he does on "Years of Ambiguity". He connects maturity with creativity in an especially strong way."

- Arild R. Andersen, Aftenposten

The new piano piece «Vinter» by Andreas Ihlebæk is a warm and nostalgic homage to bright childhood winter days. Listen and take a light, snowy trip down memory lane.

On the album Years of Ambiguity, experienced composer and jazz artist Kjetil Husebø has created music at the crossroads between ambient, drone and jazz. The grand piano has been replaced with synthesizers, samplers, electronics and programming. Internationally renowned musicians Arve Henriksen (trumpet) and Eivind Aarset (guitar) collaborates with him on several of the tracks.

The moods on the album is cinematic and full of contrasts, alternating between being minimalistic and maximalist, sometimes light, sometimes dark. Musically oriented towards huge sonic landscapes, abstract sounds but also with a sense for melody.
