In The Country
The Norwegian trio In The Country represents an unheard reconciliation between tradition and experimentation, individuality and accessible listening experience, and jazz and rock.
Pianist Morten Qvenild, in particular, gained recognition as
a musical collaborator with Solveig Slettahjell.
Even then, he made it clear where his and ultimately In The
Country's great uniqueness lies: Hardly any band masters the art of reduction
so virtuously, makes silence audible, and plays in such a subtle way that is
entirely different from the others.
