Exploring the depths of blues and standards.
The clear vocals and powerful tenor saxophone, backed by an elite rhythm section, create a rich and intimate exchange.
Karin Krogh's delicately nuanced voice contrasts vividly with Archie Shepp's unrestrained blowing. Carla Bley's "Sing Me Softly Of The Blues" features a leisurely melody against the backdrop of John Hicks's elegant piano strokes. The title track, "Hi-Fly," clocks in at over 13 minutes, is driven by Joe Chambers' tight drumming, leading to improvisational exchanges, creating a balanced symbiosis between the tranquil sensibility of Scandinavia and the American jazz tradition.
