PGM 1382 'LOVING EVERY NOTE' : oct 4-11

Hearts of Space Promo Podcast

At the elevated heights of musical skill, we encounter different styles of virtuosity.

In classical and jazz, playing fast and furious commands the attention, raises the energy, and concentrates the mind; while playing slow, deep, and intense focuses hearing, and opens up a world of subtle timing and melodic sensitivity. This is the perception that underlies ambient, space, atmospheric, and contemplative music.

For centuries the small Scandinavian country of Norway has exceled at slow, patient, intensely melodic music. It's not about how many notes you play, but how beautifully you play them. Unlike the virtuosity of fast tempos, says one of these musicians, “it’s about loving every note.”

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we revisit the lyrical, atmospheric world of Eurojazz, on a program called LOVING EVERY NOTE.

Music is by ØYSTEIN SEVÅG and LAKKI PATEY, THE TORD GUSTAVSEN TRIO, RUSSEL WALDER, KETIL BJORNSTAD & DAVID DARLING.
