专辑介绍：
这张专辑是挪威爵士大师Ketil Bjørnstad新的三重奏组合的第一张专辑，“Remembrance”（纪念）实际上是为Ketil Bjørnstad和Jon Christensen而创作，这对音乐组合合作了长达40年，同时萨克斯演奏家Tore Brunborg也做了愉快的演奏。浓烈的曲调内外兼修，交替的音乐深沉而又开朗——它将大多数听众联系到了一起。
Ketil Bjornstad简介：

挪威钢琴家、作曲家。1952年4月25日出生于挪威首都奥斯陆。幼年在伦敦、巴黎和奥斯陆接受古典音乐的教育，16岁首次登台与奥斯陆爱乐乐团（Philharmoni orchestra of Oslo）首次合作，担任钢琴独奏，演奏巴托克的第三钢琴协奏曲，被视为北欧极有前途的古典音乐少年。但就在这一年，他听到了戴维斯（Miles Davis）的专辑《寂静之路》（in A silent Way），深为其不羁的创意吸引，从而离开古典音乐，转向爵士乐。1973年，他与凯斯•杰瑞欧洲四重奏的鼓手约恩•克里斯滕森（Jon Christensen）等人合作组成了一个爵士乐队。他积极参与 ECM 唱片公司对北欧爵士乐的推动，80年代以后，曾在欧洲许多重要的爵士乐节中演出，包括伦敦、法兰克福、维也纳、南锡、沃斯、莫尔德和康斯贝格。
Ketil Bjornstad的钢琴演奏风格细腻多情，常隐身于万千音响中，蓄势待发。而作为作曲家和乐团带领者，他的创作结构严密复杂。其最受注意的是一系列以“水”为主题的作品，包括《水的故事》（Water Stories）、《大海》（The Sea）、《河流》（The River）、《大海（二）》（The SeaⅡ）等。他用短暂清脆的铙钹声响点出水面下伺机而动的波浪和冰棱，用四处流窜的吉他搭配贝司，传达出冰河崩裂、移动的意象；而他自己的琴音再三反复，若有似无地轻轻冲击着整个乐团，像是拍岸的浪潮，尽管内敛沉静，却似乎蕴藏着神秘而难以解释的庞大能量。之种用钢琴、提琴、吉它、鼓和人声构建而成的音乐，主题庞大，不象我们惯常所认识的爵士乐，但确实又是爵士乐。
Ketil Bjornstad还是一位文学家，出版过20多部小说和诗集。

First release from a new trio of Norwegian jazz veterans, Remembrance features Ketil Bjørnstad and Jon Christensen, musical associates for almost 40 years, alongside saxophonist Tore Brunborg for some joyful playing. Strongly melodic in both extroverted and introverted modes, the music is by turns reflective and outgoing - and likely to connect with a large audience.
Ketil Bjørnstad and Jon Christensen have been friends since the great drummer played on Bjørnstad's very first recordings in the early 1970s. And when Ketil came to ECM for Water Stories in 1993 Christensen, one of the most influential drummers in modern jazz history, was once again on board, staying to become a charter member of the pianist's Sea Quartet through the 1990s. This long alliance gives plenty of "remembrances" to draw upon, and Bjørnstad's exquisite compositions provide contexts in which memories can be newly experienced. The project is also forward-looking: at the instigation of producer Manfred Eicher, they are joined by saxophonist Tore Brunborg, in his third ECM showing this season (following sessions with Tord Gustavsen and Manu Katché) and currently at a creative peak. Ketil's chord patterns provide a centre from which Tore and Jon launch their explorations
Ketil Bjørnstad described as "a cultural prodigy" by The Guardian's John Fordham, started out as a classical pianist, making his debut with the Oslo Philharmonic, playing Bartók. Encounters with jazz of the late 1960s, especially Miles and Coltrane, changed his priorities and he switched to playing with the jazz men
Simultaneously he has maintained a career as a respected writer with many books to his credit – novels, poems, essays and more. 2010 is a set to be a big year for Bjørnstad: another disc – a duo with cellist Svante Henrykson – is scheduled for release this autumn. Source: systemrecords.co.uk
