Who is Nipe Nyrén, why is this so good and why haven’t you and I heard of him?
This is teriffic electric jazz, with a similar groove at times to Terje Rypdal’s Odyssey! Never before released, this comes from the original, professionally recorded tapes! Recommended!
"Nipe Nyrén, or Nils Petter Nyrén, is a well-known name in jazz and rock circles. In 1976 he formed his own group, which had its breakthrough at the jazz festivals in Molde and Kongsberg. The new group consists of Nipe Nyrén, acoustic and electric guitar, Finn Sletten, drums, Håkon Graf, synthesizer and grand piano, and Terje Venaas, electric bass.
After some time at sea, he trained as a chemist, while at the same time joining the capital's young jazz and blues scene. As a widely used studio musician, he can be found on the debut album of artists such as Finn Kalvik, Per Elvis Granberg, Øystein Sunde, Alf Cranner, Ketil Bjørnstad, Laila Dalseth, Ole Paus, Sigmund Groven, to name a few. He participated in The Country Team, the Club 7 band, in Kjell Karlsen's orchestra, in Einar Schanke's band, Geir Wentzel band, in the Radiostorbandet, he played with Earl Wilson/Paul Weeden, and had his own quartet at Kongsberg Jazzfestival and Moldejazz (1976) . It is the concert at Kongsberg this year that we will now release in connection with Kongsberg's 60th anniversary."
