ØyvindLAND - Nonett (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Øyvind Mathisen, only 26 years old, is a Norwegian trumpet player and composer from Oslo, recently graduated from the prestigious jazz-academy in Trondheim. The ensemble ØyvindLAND started up in 2017 and has developed its sound throughout their student years in Trondheim, along with Mathisen parallelly developing his compositional language. For three years now ØyvindLAND has been playing concerts all over Norway. After this period of playing live gigs the next natural step is unfolding now, as the band is releasing their album.

“The compositions on this record are my “musical paintings”, portraying the sounds of great jazz legends that have fascinated and inspired me as I was composing. Working on this music, I have been on an interesting journey starting with American legends, going via Cuba, all the way to Norway and back again. They, on the other hand, contain few direct quotes from these legends, but I rather see my compositions as expressionistic paintings and interpretations of their sounds. Naturally the music also bears the fingerprints of each and every musician in the ensemble, contributing to the unique sound of ØyvindLAND.” - Øyvind Mathisen
