CD Reviews

More of the same? Almost.

09/23/1998

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Bjornstad has three other CDs in this series, The Sea, The Sea II and The River. Each would stand alone as tranquil, pensive music from fine musicians (particularly David Darling). Taken together they are too too much the same. Water Stories stands out a bit from the others, has more variation, more interest and maybe even a surprise or two (you may never stay awake through all of The Sea I & II). Terje Rypdal provides, for me at least, the only relief in this vast and rather blank seascape."

Nothing compares to ECM label music

"its a sad fact in the united states that no! so called jazz stations would ever play this wonderful form of jazz . this music and other ECM artists perform a subtle spacing of form and ideas that are clearly lacking in jazz music found in america . lucky for me my brother is a jazz artist and turned me into an ECM addict ! wow terje rypdal , nobody in the world plays like that! for more than 20+ yrs jon christensen has amazed me with the most outstanding drumming in the world. wonderful album guys thankyou !"
