Mathias Eick-Kristjan Randalu-Ole Morten Vagan-Hans Hulbaekmo: Lullaby

Playing trumpet and keyboard as well as bringing in occasional vocals, Mathias Eick teams with Kristjan Randalu/p, Ole Morten Vagan/b and Hans Hulbaekmo/dr for soft wafts of impressionistic colors. With an open horn , Eick is longing around Hulbaekmo’s cymbals on “May” and enters center stage in the third act of a lyrical and romantic “My Love”, with his voice creating a coyote-like howl before Vagan’s  bowed bass gets luminous on “Free”. Muted, Eick sighs over a rustling Hulbaekmo on a soft and dream “September” and creates blue pastels with Vagan and Randalu on a delicate “Lullaby”. Tender tones.
