Ole Morten Vågan, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra - This Is Wuppertal! (Live) (2025) [Hi-Res]

TJO (Trondheim Jazz Orchestra) & OMV (Ole Morten Vågan) present their third release on Jazzland Records, the live album "THIS IS WUPPERTAL!". Departing from their previous conceptual studio works, this recording emphasizes aggressive energy, improvisation, and the deconstruction of musical forms. The material was recorded at multiple venues: the Loch club (Wuppertal), the historic De Bijloke venue (Belgium), and the Moldejazz 2025 festival. The release captures the unique atmosphere of live performances, including audience interaction (notably with free-jazz enthusiasts), and showcases the ensemble's exceptional interplay developed over a decade of collaboration.
