Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Ecstatic improvisations, idiosyncratic approaches to avant-jazz and a globetrotting cache of captivating regional vernaculars all combine with emphatic zeal on Utos, the dynamic debut from brand new all-Norwegian concern, Sulida.

Featuring Marthe Lea on tenor sax, flute and percussion, Jon Rune Strøm on double-bass and Dag Erik Knedal Andersen on drums and percussion, this remarkable trio draws its inspiration from the genre-razing experiments of the AACM and its pioneering satellites, while simultaneously embracing a shared love and respect for Brazilian and Ethiopian rhythms on tracks such as 'Topos' and 'For Pedro'.

Stunning flute-enriched fourth-world fantasias, convulsive extemporisations, a passionate reading of Charlie Haden's 'Song For Che' and wild percussive workouts (recalling the Art Ensemble of Chicago's creative use of "little instruments") are cast here as continuations of an extemporising lineage dating back to old Norwegian fiddlers such as Hilmar Alexandersen, Sulida rooting their bountiful compositions and stunning collective interplay within a native musical heritage alongside more customary free-jazz and avant-garde strands.

Such a bristling convergence of singular styles and influences is wonderfully mirrored in the album's allegoric title: Utos refers to the point of a river's confluence as it floats out to sea, as Sulida's singular currents flow out into the world; reviving, fortifying, energising, stimulating."-Clean Feed

"Dag Erik Knedal Andersen (born 5th of November 1983) is an award winning Norwegian drummer and improviser based in Oslo.

Knedal Andersen had originally planned to become an engineer, but at the age of 16 he discovered the dubious joy of jazz and improvised music, and hence there were no turning back. After buying all the records he could lay his hands on at that time, he soon found himself studying jazz at the Conservatory of Music in Trondheim. After his graduation in 2008, he moved to Berlin for a brief period of time, before moving to Oslo to do a masters degree in improvised music at the Norwegian State Academy of Music.

Perhaps best known for his "hyperactive-take-no-prisoners" approach to drumming, he has been an ubiquitous musician on the Norwegian improvised music scene over the last couple of years, as well as touring all over Europe with groups such as SAKA and AKODE. In 2010 he received the Molde International Jazz Festival's "Talent of the year" award. In addition to his regular groups, he has performed with among others Axel Dörner, Alan Wilkinson, John Butcher, Thomas Lehn, Frode Gjerstad, Fredrik Ljungkvist, Pat Thomas, Jørgen Mathisen, Akira Sakata, Tobias Delius, Alex Ward, Dominic Lash, Rudi Mahall, Lasse Marhaug, Martin Küchen, Birgit Ulher, Maja Ratkje, John Edwards, Kjetil Møster and Ingebrigt Håker Flaten."
