Waldemar 4 - The Buoy and the Sea (2020)

Waldemar 4 is a striking unit with some of Norway’s most sought after improvising musicians. Fiske put this quartet together for his commissioned work for Molde International Jazz Festival in 2014.

In the tradition of jazz and free jazz the collective playfulness is always present and the band delivers soloists at the highest level. The melodic tunes by Fiske and the inventive interplay and risk taking improvisation gives the quartet its unique sound. The Buoy and the Sea is their second release, coming after the critically acclaimed self-titled Waldemar 4 in 2015.

The Buoy And The Sea was recorded at Newtone Studio in Oslo, Norway, August 2019. And, it was mixed and Mastered by Jacob Worm at Finland Studio, Aarhus, Denmark.

Trygve Waldemar Fiske – acoustic bass, André Roligheten – saxophone and bass clarinet , Erik Nylander – drums, Håvard Wiik – piano
