Teamed with trumpeter Oscar Andreas Naug, the Little North band of Benjamin Norholm Jacobsen/p, Martin Brunbjerg Rasmussen/b and Lasse Jacobsen/dr sound like 60s era Herbie Hancock with Freddie Hubbard a la Empyrean Isles. Haug sighs on the soft piano reflections of “Colors” and cries out expressively on the elegant “Embrace”. The horn is bold an beautifl on the bluesy “Le Guin” and busts through the gates on the galloping “Third Eye”. Jacobsen is Chopinesque on “Steinar” and the drums ar crisp on the militaried somber “Little One”. Music through the eye of the hurricane.
