NACD NARKCD004
“Painter, graphic designer, but not least jazz pianist Svein Finnerud released the iconic album Plastic Sun in 1970 together with bassist Bjørnar Andresen and drummer Espen Rud. At the time, Finnerud Trio was an important part of the Norwegian avant-garde jazz scene. They were not internationally known, but the ideas they represented would later set the tone also in European jazz with artists such as Garbarek, Rypdal and the early ECM sound.
In 1971 they played two concerts during the Kongsberg Jazz Festival. One at Byscenene and one in the cinema. The concert at the cinema (this) is completely unique, as Finnerud both plays electric. piano and acoustic piano at the same concert. With the blessing of his son Bendik Finnerud and Espen Rud, this recording can now be made available for the first time.
The album contains, among other things, compositions by Anette Peacock/Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett, in addition to own songs.”
