- Summary:
- Sometimes we come across unexpected, if not incongruous, encounters that turn out to be amazing, disturbing and inventive. This concert is a perfect example of this phenomenon. We see Norwegian musicians Nils Petter Molvær and Eivind Aarset fusing jazz, rock and ambient music with a World-class Jamaican rhythm section composed of drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare - both of whom shaped the "Rub A Dub Style" and hundreds of Reggae music hits since the '80s. This meeting was initiated by Robbie Shakespeare, who admits that he has always had a fascination with the imagination of the trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær. And whilst this clash between aesthetically distant musical worlds is already enough of a gamble, it pays off - the project is delivered with total adhesion, eventually finding its discographic form through the album *Nordub* in 2018. As if giving us a clue or a unique entry point, during the performance Robbie sings a few verses from The Abbyssinians: "The book of life; there is a land far from away". With these musicians, that book of life opens onto a dreamlike country where the floating atmosphere of Norwegian Nu jazz transcends the 'riddims' of Jamaica, where melancholic reveries are anchored in an earthy dimension carried by the dry drumming. Truly fascinating. Philippe Lesage.
