Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"ORD was formed a few years ago, and Hemligheter pa vagen (Secrets on the way) is the band's first album.

There is a text of Tranströmer's from the short memoir 'Memories Look at Me' that has inspired Karin particularly for this album: "I acarry inside myself my earlier faces, as a tree contains its rings. The sum of them is me. The mirror sees only my latest face, while I know all my previous ones." I look at the photo of the album cover. It pictures a girl in a doorway. She looks straight into the camera. It is an image of Karin Johansson when ten years old.

We carry all our different ages and memories with us, they walk next to us each day, but there are gaps between moments of recognition. Karin Johansson and her four fellow musicians are listening in with a finely tuned presence. They help us on the receiving end to stop, see, and simply listen. And I can't help wondering what the poet and pianist Transtromer would have been thinking or feeling if he had been able to sit in on their conversation."-Havtorn

Also available as a compact disc.

	McPhee, Joe / Mette Rasmussen / Dennis Tyfus Oblique Strategies [VINYL] (Black Truffle)
An unrestrained album of free jazz, unorthodox electronic excursions and vocal irascibility as legendary tenor saxophonist Joe McPhee joins the Bazuinschal duo of alto saxophonist Mette Rasmussen and percussionist & electronic manipulator Dennis Tyfus (Ultra Eczema) for this singularly unusual 2018 concert at Het Bos, in Antwerp, Belgium; magnificently indescribable!

	Cherry, Don / Dollar Brand Musikforum Schloss, Viktring, Austria - July 20, 1972 [VINYL 2 LPs] (WHP)
An exemplary concert of free jazz with world influences, from a quartet drawn from diverse parts of the world--trumpeter Don Cherry from New York, Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) from South Africa, double bassist Johnny Dyani, also from South Africa, and Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos--in four side-long improvisations recorded in Austria in 1972.

	de Heney, Nina / Karin Johansson / Henrik Wartel Quagmire (Creative Sources)
Turning the piano trio concept onto its sonic side, the Swedish trio of Nina de Heney on double bass, Karin Johansson on piano, and Henrik Wartel on drums owe more to AMM than jazz tradition, as they use extended techniques and a sound-oriented approach to improvisation, presenting three live recordings at Elementstudion, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
