Title: AGBALAGBA DAADA

FILE UNDER: jazz/impro
Distribution: Musikkoperatørene
Per Jørgensen and Terje Isungset unite forces in Agbalagba Daada
with a raw, cut to the bone expression. It’s improvisation in the wider
landscape of jazz where the elements melt and travels to the core of
the music. Music far beyond words. AGBALAGBA is an African word
(Yoruba-language) for old person. As a result of age and experience this
person acquires a certain level of knowledge, and is given the title
AGBALAGBA DAADA – meaning old, wise person. In a figurative sense, the
working musician – starting out as young and promising – gradually attains the
status of AGBALAGBA DAADA, adjusting musical perspectives in accordance
with the growing process of life. This double album is filled with strong and
powerful music.
Per Jørgensen started his musical career in Bergen, Norway in the seventies and is today one of
the most acclaimed and sought after jazz musician. With the trio concept Jøkleba! developed
together with Jon Balke (keyboards) and Audun Kleive (drums), he reached a wide audience in
Scandinavia, playing together for over ten years. He has also been a regular member of Jon Balkes
Magnetic North Orchestra, from its start-up in 1992.
Terje Isungset is one of Europe’s most accomplished and innovative percussionists. With over two
decades experience in jazz and Scandinavian music he is taking these types of music far beyond
their traditional boundaries, becoming more like a cross between a sound artist and a shaman.
Using sounds from natural elements such as arctic birch, granite, slate, sheep bells and even ice,
he is highly recommended to those sensible to the poetry and simplicity of sounds.

Reviews of the CD "Iceconcerts"
BBC.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/ppf9/
Varme ut av is. (Varden)
http://www.varden.no/article/20080122/KULTUR/298059141/1050
Iskaldt og urnorskt. Terningast 5 (TA)
http://www.ta.no/pulsen/Musikk/cd/article3312632.ece
Varme ut av is. Terningkast 4 (BT)
Stemningsfull Joik. Terningkast 5. (OA)
Likevel vet du at Terje Isungset har truffet noe med sin ismusikk, da du tar deg i å få gåsehud. Selv om du sitter trygt og godt foran peisen og bare lytter.

Jazz som ikkje smelatar (Dagsavisen).
http://www.dagsavisen.no/kultur/musikk/article332350.ece
http://wyattandstuff.blogspot.com/2008/01/ice-concerts.html
Terje Isungset er en av kongerikets mest originale og mest genuine kunstnere – i alle fall musikanter. ”Ice Concerts” er nok et bevis på det. Terningkast 6(TV 2)http://www.side2.no/musikk/anmeldelser/article1582361.ece
Musikken og stemningene er helstøpt, og bærer i seg en sensibilitet for naturens tilstand om vinteren. Musikken Isungset kultiverer fram i kulden og praktisk talt former av is med sine egne hender, er mer preget av dvale enn blomstring. http://www.ballade.no/nmi.nsf/printstory/art2008020814521332588235
Resultatet er eksotisk, imponerende og grenseløst originalt.
(Nordlys)
Dette er stemningsfull samtidsmusikk som iscenesetter naturen på en forbilledlig måte, og det er bare å lukke øyene så befinner du deg på vidden.(BA)
