Voyage

Fifth solo album from the Norwegian tuba player and composer, following his acclaimed albums 'Slow Eastbound Train' (2015) and 'The Roc' (2017). With each release the core line-up of Herskedal on tuba and bass trumpet, pianist Eyolf Dale, percussionist Helge Andreas Norbakken and more recently violist Bergmund Waal Skaslien has become more effortlessly integrated. On 'Voyage' the band exude a seamless flow and interconnectedness with even greater emphasis on the subtlety, nuance and colour that Daniel Herskedal has built his compositional reputation on. But the music is nonetheless equally exciting and captivating. Bridging the melodic beauty of 'Slow Eastbound Train' to the Arabian flavours of 'The Roc', 'Voyage' stands as a hallmark of Herskedal's exquisite taste and perfect blend of emotion, melody and rhythmical intensity merged together in a sound that is undeniably his.
