Powerful live debut album Saxophonist Kjetil M\u00f8ster has been one of our very favourite musicians for a long time. In the band M\u00f8ster he is fronting a dream team of Norwegian musicians: St\u00e5le Storl\u00f8kken (Supersilent), Nikolai Eilertsen (Elephant 9, Big Bang) and Kenneth Kapstad (Motorpsycho). We are proud to be able to release Edvard Lygre M\u00f8ster, a powerful live album recorded at the Victoria in Oslo in December 2011. Kjetil M\u00f8ster\u2019s tenor sax playing in bands such as Ultralyd, Zaussi Five and The Core, and in collaboration with Chick Corea and the Trondheim Jazzorkester, has placed him firmly on the map. He was voted \u201cInternational Young Jazz Talent\u201d in 2006 by the organisations IJFO and IAJE. The band \u201cM\u00f8ster\u201d was formed when he was invited to the Kongsberg Jazzfestival in 2010, and marked Kjetil\u2019s return to jazz after extensive tours of several years\u2019 duration with the electro-rock band Datarock. The group\u2019s musical idiom is energetic, rock-inspired and dark, and according to Kjetil his goal with the band is to place the artistic style and intensity of his hero John Coltrane in a modern context. For me, this album is a personal expression of the music I have listened to and what I have been thinking about since I was a child.\u201d Kjetil M\u00f8ster was given free rein when putting his new band together, and all the musicians he chose have a personal relationship with much of the music of the 1960s and 70s, and are trying to convey these traditions to a new landscape. He describes the group\u2019s musicians individually: Keyboard player St\u00e5le Storl\u00f8kken operates in an exquisite and colourful universe of sound, while at the same time he is an encyclopaedia of prog-rock and has explored early jazz-rock thoroughly. Bassist Nikolai Eilertsen, in addition to being among the few who have kept the warm, deep groove of 1970s funk and soul, is a virtuoso of the highest order, with both an excellent overview of harmony and a sense of freedom in his improvisations. Kenneth Kapstad is an immensely flexible drummer, with exceptional tenacity and technique. It is not without reason that the band M\u00f8ster\u2019s first album is a live recording. \u201cI think that every band discovers itself on stage, in front of an audience,\u201d says Kjetil. \u201cIt was at the concert presented on this album that we found our voice as a band, and it was a lucky coincidence that we were able to have it recorded so successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n
