Song Dust is the first trio recording from trumpeter Karl Strømme. Having toured as a member of the European Union Jazz Youth Orchestra and recorded several albums as a member of the experimental group Peloton, Strømme released Dynalyd, for quintet, in 2019. For his NXN Recordings debut he teamed up with exciting young musicians Gard Kronborg on acoustic bass and Per-Arne Ferner on guitar. Listeners will enjoy nods to both West Coast jazz and the Nordic cool, especially through the expressive trumpet playing. A traditional jazz trio would often include a drummer, but you won’t miss one on Song Dust. In addition to a joyful percussive contribution on VM (track 5), all the musicians are given plenty of space and time to create beautiful soundscapes and passages throughout the album.
