Thomas Stronen's Time Is A Blind Guide

Description:

Time Is A Blind Guide, an acoustic band led by Norwegian drummer/composer Tomas Streenen, is back with their second album in three years. The band is now a quintet with a slightly smaller number of members than before, but it is joined by Ayumi Tanaka, a Japanese female pianist born in Wakayama. She has been making connections between Japan and Norway through her own improvisations, and Strenenen also shows off her composers in a more illuminating way than on the previous album. The strings are still present as in the previous album, and the quintet, which can be a string trio or a piano trio, is a very ECM-like music! (Personnel) Ayumi Tanaka (p) Hakon Aase (violin) Lucy Railton (violoncello) Ole Morten Vagan (double bass) Thomas Stronen (drums, percussion)
