Henriette Eilertsen, OJKOS - Om tålmodighet (2024) [Hi-Res]

Jazz flutist Henriette Eilertsen (NO) has picked up her flute and pen once again, this time with a work that aims to capture different aspects of patience through music. Om tålmodighet (meaning: regarding patience), released on Nice Things Records, is a commissioned piece written for the composer collective OJKOS (the Orchestra for Jazz Composers in Oslo), which Eilertsen co-founded in 2018. This album marks the culmination of her musical journey with the collective and is a deeply personal work that summarizes years of creative exploration and collaboration.

Eilertsen has gained recognition for her original and captivating flute playing, which not only brings a necessary instrument into contemporary jazz but also acts as an artistic driving force that shapes the music. Her debut album as a solo artist, Poems for Flute, has been described as an album that knows where it wants to go, showcasing Eilertsen’s ability to combine composed and improvised elements in a fascinating way.
