FIRE!
Norway 2018 [no label, 1CD]
Rune Grammofon 20 år!. Victoria Nasjonale Jazzscene, Oslo, Norway, December 1, 2018. Very good audio (ripped from HDTV webcast).
Jazz or prog rock? Drums, bass and horns in focus with layers of guitars and electronics making it all exploding and imploding, songlike themes delivered by extreme vocalist/s - conducted by a spontaneous improvised music windmill - …and the RIFFS carrying it all - makes this unit a unique one in creative music today. Creative musicians from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and France gather in an (un)holy union of noise, free jazz, riffs, industrial noise, psych rock, improvised music and related activities.

Oslo’s Nasjonal jazzscene celebrates the remarkable record label Rune Grammofon with two nights of groundbreaking music. Live you’ll experience Maja SK Ratkje + Motorpsycho and FIRE! + Hedvig Mollestad Trio.
Rune Grammofon is an world-renowned and uniquely sounding record label, and now celebrates their 20th anniversary with a book and a truly exciting lineup at Nasjonal jazzscene in Oslo. With more than 200 releases, the company has right from the start shown to be a reliable provider of quality records with a strong identity, a community of nerve. They also have a strong visual thread in the cover art, through all releases designer Kim Hiorthøy has given the music colorful and formidable love. In the music one hears the care Rune Kristoffersen has for his artists.
For two celebratory nights, we have chosen artists we feel reflects the excitement and diversity of Rune Grammofon. Common to them is sky high quality with many and strong releases on the label!
Saturday 1st of December kicks of with Mats Gustafsson and his trio FIRE! The Swedish saxophone player has participated in many great projects, but up close, in sync with Andreas Werliin and Johan Berthling is possibly him at his best!
