Elephant9, Reine Fiske

It´s not often a "jazz" band take the big step from the club scene to a 1300 capacity rock venue like Oslo´s Rockefeller. But then again, Elephant9 is not your ordinary jazz band, often being named as Norway´s best live band - surely quite rare for an instrumental band - they are equally popular in jazz and rock circles. Here Elephant9 once again join forces with Reine Fiske - who brings another dimension to the band - for an epic slice of mindblowing modern rock´n´jazz prog psychedelia. The core trio is still Ståle Storløkken, Nikolai Hængsle and Torstein Lofthus, three of Norway´s finest musicians. "Silver Mountain" is an epic double album containing five tracks between 10 and 22 minutes, four tracks being originals in addition to the most spaced out version of "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" you´re likely to encounter. Needless to say, this comes highly recommended!
