Nils Petter Molvær - Khmer (1998)

Genre: Nu-Jazz

Molvær is just one of many Europeans who embrace a variety of musical styles to fuse with jazz improvisation. This is the type of jazz that can be easily found on the ECM label, and this could very well be the turning point in jazz where the Europeans surpass the Americans. While we are busy looking backward, Europeans like Molvær are looking full stream ahead towards the future and towards innovation. Standout tracks that display Molvær’s sonic trumpet are “Khmer,” “Tløn,” and “On Stream.” Definitely worth checking out. ~ Buy It at Lowest Price on Amazon

There have been attempts to duplicate the musical results and the commercial success of this disc – including a couple by Molvær himself, but Khmer is the real thing. Molvær combined incredibly creative musicians, intensely interesting, well-crafted tunes and the signature crystalline sound of the ECM sound studio to produce a musical experience which is equal parts World Music, Electronica, Jazz, Folk, Cinematic Soundtrack, trip hop, disco, funk. The predominant narrative voice throughout Khmer is Molvær’s trumpet with fine contributions by the guitarist and keyboard player laid over a dense bed of percussion and bass.

This music will sneak up on you. It will assault you. It will surprise you. It will lull you into an inner space in your head where images will flash before your eyes. What this music isn’t is: New Age. There is too much sonic edge, not enough melodic aimlessness and too much poignancy to the images the music conjures up for this recording to be New Age Music.

In this day and age of compartmentalization it is refreshing to hear something that is intelligent, entertaining and (especially) without boundaries.

This music can be compared to the music of Steve Tibbetts or some of recordings from the Thirsty Ear label. ~ Review by Ron Steeds @
