Post Description

For Ikonostasis, Finnish jazz sensation Kari Ikonen has invited his favourite musicians 
to play compositions that are both experimental and yet strikingly beautiful. The first 
studio album of this deeply personal project compiles ten of these tracks into an 
innovative and beguiling work - managing to sound both strangely familiar and yet 
like nothing you've ever heard. Especially in the duets with Louis Sclavis on 
(bass-)clarinet, the electronic elements create courageous utopian sound worlds 
somewhere between the aesthetics of p-funk and the avantgarde. But even in the 
acoustic pieces, including epic fifteen-minute journey Trinity, what at first appear 
to be recognisable harmonies, delicate trumpet melodies and dreamy piano chords 
are gradually sucked under by slowly turning, sinister currents underneath the 
surface. Already with his previous releases Ikonen has not just established himself 
as one of the leader's of the Finnish scene, but contributed to putting Finland as a 
whole firmly on the European jazz map. With Ikonostasis, he is now taking an even 
bigger leap. This is music without any musical barriers or self-imposed restrictions, 
driven by nothing but the pure pleasure of performance, regardless of the outcome.



Zoals in een eerdere post toegezegd, mocht ik het 
album alsnog in Flac hebben gevonden, dan zou ik 
het posten. Bij deze.
Natuurlijk kwam het precies binnen, nádat ik het 
album als mp3 erop had gezet.....
