Exciting and accessible debut album The band Scent of Soil is fronted by vocalist Kirsti Huke and saxophonist Tore Brunborg. On this, their first album, they make use of material from a critically acclaimed commissioned work they wrote together for the Vossa Jazz Festival in 2010. The nine powerful and visually rich songs they present here are all related to nature, each in its own way. Kirsti Huke has worked in both rock and jazz genres, and has released two highly praised albums under her own name. Her voice has been described as both \u201ca honey jar\u201d and \u201ca powerhouse\u201d, which indicates the breadth of her approach to jazz standards, pop and rock. Tore Brunborg is undoubtedly one of the most important Norwegian saxophonists in the generation that followed Jan Garbarek. He had his breakthrough in the 1980s with the group Masqualero, which also featured Nils Petter Molv\u00e6r, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen. During the past few years he has worked with Mathias Eick, Manu Katch\u00e9, the Tord Gustavsen Ensemble and Ketil Bj\u00f8rnstad. He also plays a key role on two of Mats Eilertsen\u2019s records on the HUBRO label: Radio Yonder and Sky Dive. Scent of Soil\u2019s music ranges from energetic rock to tender ballads in which the group\u2019s jazz roots emerge more distinctly. Huke and Brunborg have put together an exciting band with musicians who have all worked extensively with boundary-defying music, and their references to the alternative rock scene are very much in evidence.<\/p>\n

Huke and Brunborg have put together an exciting band with musicians who have all worked extensively with boundary-defying music, and their references to the alternative rock scene are very much in evidence. Guitarist Petter V\u00e5gan plays together with Huke in the rock band \u2013phy, and is also known as a member of Marvel Machine, Eyewaterlilies, Vertex and Petter O Hanna. Bassist Rune Nergaard and drummer Gard Nilssen have performed together in several different bands, but are perhaps best known from the free rock band Bushman\u2019s Revenge. Nilssen also plays with Susanne Sundf\u00f8r, Puma and Mathias Eick. Scent of Soil\u2019s debut album is both exciting and accessible \u2013 a record abounding in musical high points. Highly recommended!<\/p>\n
