Bugge Wesseltoft - Am Are (2025) [Hi-Res]

Pianist Bugge Wesseltoft has long been a shaper of his own jazz idioms, through his diverse solo albums, his group projects such as New Conception of Jazz, OKWorld! and Rymden, and collaborations with artists such as Sidsel Endresen, Henning Kraggerud or Henrik Schwarz.

Am Are features special constellations of superb musicians that spans both generations and styles, and is an exploration of sonic textures, dynamic contrasts of mood and style, and ranges from sparse arrangements through to complex layers of dubs and loops and improvisational interplay. The album showcases a selection of projects and collaborations that Bugge enjoys and finds inspiring, all of which demonstrate the power of human communication and interplay within music.
