CD ReviewsRypdal's Finest Chris Juergens | Portland, OR, USA | 07/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This came out in '78 and pretty much left everything Rypdal had done previously in the dust. Before Waves, Rypdal had spent a few years fine-tuning Miles Davis'jazzfunkfusion legacy (albeit with a pronounced Scandinavian flavor), but Waves is a BIG leap forward, with a truly original & fresh feel & approach. On this record Rypdal's stellar guitar often takes a back seat while trumpet wunderkind Palle Mikkelborg establishes the melodies (Per Ulv and The Dain Curse are a couple of the catchiest melodies in Rypdal's career as a composer)and blows at length. the moody & atmospheric Rypdal we all know & love is here too (Karusell & Charisma)- this record has it all! Jon Christensen on drums is easily up to the challenge throughout. Sveinung Hovensjo on bass is the invisible man here, prefiguring the bass-less lineup on Rypdal's follow up to Waves, Descendre.This record is criminally unknown $ unsung. In my perfect Alternate Universe Terje Rypdal, along with the likes of Frank Zappa and Ralph Towner,is properly acknowledged and revered as the towering guitar master & composer which he truly is in this deeply flawed universe..." Criminally Overlooked Jazz Rock Stunner L. S. Slaughter | Chapel Hill, NC | 07/29/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "The summer I found Rypdal I was also dancing to disco and Sex Pistols, and, yes, it all made sense, while leaving the aformentioned sort of...well, in the dust. Rypdal's searing Hendrix-esque guitar combined with his tireless, whiplash jazz men was like nothing I had ever heard (and little has matched it since). He had brought the jazz fusion experiments of Miles Davis's electroyears into focus and wedded it to his peculiar Scando-psychedelic world view. "Per Ulv" has a refrain that plays weekly in my head 30 odd years later. Classic work." Waves-Terje Rypdal J. Campbell | Toledo, Ohio USA | 03/15/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album along with Descendre are two Rypdal albums that feature Trumpet player Palle Mikkelborg. Mikkelborg is perhaps the most diversified and accomplished trumpet player out there. He is truly a musician first and his trumpet playing only serves the goal of creating beautiful and haunting music. Together with Rypdal and the drummer on this album they create some of the most memorable impressionistic music ever recorded. This album is extremely underrated and will live as a lasting legacy of Rypdals unique, powerful and expressive guitar playing and composing. Definately something worth owning."
