  • Description

    This is a wonderful debut album by Anders Thorén Quartet. The title 'Sources of Inspiration' is giving a clear reference to the sources that inspired Anders Thorén to come back to music after a lengthy hiatus. Thorén has chosen one of his main mentors as featuring artist; the eminent, Grammy-winning pianist Lars Jansson. Spillemanspris-winning (Norwegian Grammy) bassist Frode Berg, and the upcoming saxophonist Børge-Are Halvorsen make up the rest of this solid line-up together with bandleader/producer Thorén behind the drums. The material is not original, but instead a selection of compositions that have been part of the inspiration for Thoréns return; composers such as Seamus Blake, Lars Jansson, and Marc Miralta among others. Stylistically the album is nicely varied with intense groove-based jazz, pretty ballads and improvised duo-segments. "An album that makes you feel light hearted and happy in the name of jazz." - JazzSpecial (DK) Personnel: Lars Jansson (piano), Børge-Are Halvorsen (saxophones), Frode Berg (bass), Anders Thorén (drums)
