Jesper Thorn: Dragor

Playing bass and some electronics, Jesper Thorn creates moods similar to ECM in terms of spaciousness, sounding highly influenced by Tomasz Stanko’s classic small group. He’s joined by Marc Mean/p-elec, Tbias Wiklund/ct, Cecile Strange/ts and Andreas Bernitt/vi-va for eight illuminative originals. There’s a delicate crystal feel with violin and sparse ambience on pieces like “About Fathers and Sons” or “About Fathers”. Wiklund’s cornet is pastoral as he yearns on “Boy” with Strange brooding with Mean on “Upside Down”. Both horns sing on the soft “Gragor” and gasp during the emphysemic “Asthma”. Silence and sounds.
