Description
Third album from Norwegian jazz musician Bendik Hofseth - His career started in Oslo with the bands Chipahua and The Heavy Gentlemen together with Knut Reiersrud - He then went to study in the United States, where he also worked for several years as Michael Brecker's successor in the band Steps Ahead (1987-92)
"Planets, Rivers and .... IKEA" first released in March 1996 is an album divided into three main parts. Four IKEA songs performed with pop/rock musicians. Performed with things like a piano prepared with screws from IKEA, rubbish bin, and a homemade Berimbau. Four "River songs" with a more jazz-oriented band and Three "Planet" melodies performed by a string quartet and a horn quintet. Despite an apparently wide-ranging use of musicians, it appears as a well-composed and coherent album, with an unmistakable Bendik Hofseth touch!
